Risks

There are a number of permitted storm overflows that discharge into the Exmouth bathing water. Historical evidence and data indicate that these overflows have the potential to affect bathing water quality during storm conditions. However, the impact can vary depending on factors such as tidal state and weather conditions. Additionally, it is important to note that certain overflows are assigned for investigative purposes and may not have an actual impact.

These include:
Maer Road pumping station & Combined Sewer Overflow
Imperial road Combined Sewer Overflow
Hartopp road pumping station
Phear park pumping station

Real time monitoring of these overflows can be found on South West Water Waterfit Website.
