Sewage outlets within 3 km
Filter by the latest company report. The map follows the filters. This is a location search, not a list of outlets proven to affect Bexhill, and it does not include every possible source of pollution.
Filters apply to the map and list. Recent stops need a current report and a recorded stop time. They do not show whether water is safe.

Before you visit
- Open the official bathing-water profile for current advice.

- Use the Swim Healthy guidance to reduce open-water risks.
Designation and a map point do not establish parking, lifeguard cover, access or a safe route. A stopped overflow report does not mean that the bathing water is safe.

Questions about Bexhill
- Is Bexhill safe to swim in today?

- What does the Bexhill classification mean?
- The annual classification meets the minimum Sufficient class. The Environment Agency sets the class from water samples taken over several bathing seasons, not from a single visit.

- Are there sewage outlets near Bexhill?
- 11 outlet records fall within 3 km of the monitoring point. The nearest is Brockley Road Bexhill CSO - 103297, about 0.3 km away. Distance alone does not show whether an outlet affects this water.
