In 2025, England experienced a significant decrease in sewage overflows, with 291,492 incidents, down from 450,000 in 2024. Despite drier weather reducing pollution, overflows still occurred excessively. The total spill time dropped to 3.61 million hours from 3.63 million in 2024. Water companies saw substantial reductions, with some cutting spills by over 60-70%. However, campaigners criticized the system, pointing out over 187,000 hours of spills on dry days and the need for deeper reforms to protect waters year-round.
