What is the WaterFit Live beach map telling me?
Our interactive map allows you to see if any of our storm overflows have been operating at your local beach to an extent that they may have temporarily affected bathing water.
For more information about storm overflows, what we’re doing to reduce their impact and how you can help do your bit visit our main Storm Overflow page.
We’ve provided some frequently asked questions below the map to help you understand what’s happening and why.
