Risks

There are numerous storm and emergency outfalls that discharge to the River Yare. Prior to the 2007 improvements, which included significant additional storage, these outfalls may have occasionally affected bathing water quality. This bathing water is included in the Surfers Against Sewage “Safer Seas Service”. This service can alert you to Combined Storm Sewer Overflow discharges via a phone App and in addition, it includes the Environment Agency Pollution Risk Forecast warnings where they are available.
