Water pollution
Pollution of water courses, including becks and streams, is dealt with by the Environment Agency.
In the event of a water pollution incident that may pose a risk to public health, we can assist the Environment Agency with the investigation if required. We can also help:
- by referring incidents to them
- by ensuring emissions from regulated industry are within statutory guidelines
- preventing pollution of water courses by carrying out our duties in relation to contaminated land control
You can also contact the Environment Agency directly.
