Aberystwyth South

Monitored — no current concerns

Annual classification is Good, but no recent monitoring data — the most recent regulator sample is 7 weeks old. The 2026 bathing season runs 15 May – 30 September; fresh samples typically arrive 2-4 weeks into the season.

Low confidence — the classification is favourable, but the most recent regulator sample is not recent.

What this verdict means

Monitored — no current concerns means the regulator's classification is favourable but no live discharge data covers this region, so a spill today would not show here. It is deliberately a softer signal than safe.

Every verdict here is computed from regulator classifications, sample dates, pollution-risk forecasts, and water-company discharge reports — it is not a water test. Absence of a negative signal is not positive confirmation of safety, and conditions on the day (rainfall, currents, cold) matter as much as water quality. Read how statuses are decided.
