Water companies are required to submit data to the Environment Agency (EA) showing the duration of discharges. The EA uses this information to target its regulatory work and to drive improvements to assets and parts of the sewerage networks where they are most critical.

Water companies have not submitted 2025 data yet; they will do so by the end of this month.
