FAQs

We’ve been collecting sickness data from water users since 2019. It’s important to track when and where people are getting sick from using the water because there’s little information on this. With an active community of water users, this data helps us better understand potential issues and support our campaigning for improved water quality.

Yes, sickness reports are a valuable tool for local campaigns. While a single report doesn’t confirm that someone got sick from sewage pollution, it shows they believe sewage might be the cause. When multiple cases occur in the same area or within a short timeframe, it strongly suggests reduced water quality is making people ill. This evidence is essential for pushing for improvements in water quality

Previously, we shared annual water quality reports summarizing a year of data collection. With the launch of our Surfers Against Sewage Data HQ, this data will now be accessible year-round, updated monthly. We aim to provide more frequent updates and collaborate with others to use this data in campaigns for better water quality.

We continue to publish annual water quality reports that summarize submitted data and include case studies. These reports combine statistics with personal stories to highlight the human impact of poor water quality.

Absolutely. We welcome personal stories and would love to feature you if you’re comfortable sharing your experience. If you’re willing to go on camera or record a message, let us know! These stories, alongside the data, are powerful tools for raising awareness and pushing for change.

Our sickness reporting form collects essential data and human insights, showing the real-life consequences of poor water quality. Sharing your story can make a big difference.

Sometimes, yes. We receive many sickness reports through the Safer Seas and Rivers Service app and online. While we can’t follow up with everyone, we review every report. We always try to support individuals who are particularly concerned and want assistance.

We can’t confirm whether a sickness was directly caused by sewage pollution. What we can do is check if there was a sewage discharge reported around the time and place you became unwell. In some cases, we may also have information from a doctor linking a person’s illness to water quality. But ultimately, there’s no way to be completely certain about the exact cause of the sickness.
