No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.
Beach cleaning volunteers JAN PEDDIE, MANISHA PANDYA, SHANE FRANKLIN and DAVE PEDDIE clean up waste and watch for pollution at the beach at New Brighton . Blackpool Council have said that swimmers should not swim at beaches along its coast after raw sewage was released in to the Irish Sea , reportedly as a consequence of a storm , earlier this week

Revealed: the 'shocking' levels of toxic lead in Chicago tap water
Tests performed for thousands of Chicago residents found lead, a neurotoxic metal, in amounts far exceeding the federal standards.
One in 20 tap water tests performed for thousands of Chicago residents found lead, a neurotoxic metal, at or above US government limits, according to a Guardian analysis of a City of Chicago data trove.
And one-third had more lead than is permitted in bottled water.
This means that out of the 24,000 tests, approximately 1,000 homes had lead exceeding federal standards. Experts and locals say these results raise broader concerns, because there are an estimated 400,000 lead pipes supplying water to homes in the city, and the vast majority were not tested as part of the program.
The Guardian worked with water engineer Elin Betanzo - who helped uncover the Flint water crisis that resulted in many, mostly Black residents being poisoned by lead in the Michigan city - to review the results of water tests conducted for Chicago residents between 2016 and 2021.
