Filter by the latest company report. The map follows the filters. This is a location search, not a list of outlets proven to affect Filey, 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.

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 Filey
- Is Filey safe to swim in today?
- This page cannot answer that. The annual classification describes a longer-term record, and an outlet report describes monitor activity at one outlet. Check the official bathing-water profile, local signs and current conditions before entering the water.
- What does the Filey classification mean?
- The annual classification meets the Good class. The Environment Agency sets the class from water samples taken over several bathing seasons, not from a single visit.
- Has the water quality at Filey changed?
- The rating was Good in 2025, the same as in 2024. We hold standard classifications for 5 years, from 2021 to 2025. The table above lists every year in the record.
- Are there sewage outlets near Filey?
- 6 outlet records fall within 3 km of the monitoring point. The nearest is Filey Transfer/CSO, about 0.3 km away. Distance alone does not show whether an outlet affects this water.
- Which outlets near Filey are linked to a live feed?
- 5 of the 6 nearby records are matched to a monitor in a company live feed. A link does not mean the monitor is working now. Use the status filters above to check the latest report and its date. A stopped report does not mean the bathing water is safe.
