Episode Details

Sewage spills in England plummeted by 35% in 2025, with 291,492 incidents compared to 450,398 in 2024. Total spill time dropped to 1.87 million hours from 3.61 million hours. Drier weather and increased investments in storm tanks and treatment works contributed to the improvement. However, campaigners criticized the remaining spills, particularly on dry days, and warned of health risks and environmental impacts. Water UK aims to halve spills over the next five years, with government measures in place to maintain progress.
