The Port of Dover has received notification today, of a sewage outfall incident that took place on Tuesday 23rd June.

Following completion of our standard routine weekly water quality testing, elevated microbiological results have been identified at a number of seafront and marina sampling locations.

The results indicate that sufficient bathing water quality levels have been breached in several areas. As a precautionary safety measure, swimming and direct water contact are not currently permitted in the affected areas.

Seafront signage is being placed in visible locations to inform the public.

Daily water quality testing will now be carried out until the results confirm that water quality has returned to within sufficient bathing water quality levels.

The position will be reviewed daily as new results become available.
