This spot’s record
New Brighton Beach East is in Wirral, about 5 km from Liverpool. Across the 12 most recent samples published by the Environment Agency (England), E. coli counts ranged from 10 to 660 per 100 ml. The highest was taken on 28 August 2026. A classification is calculated from percentiles across four seasons, so no single reading decides how this water is rated.

A bathing water's official classification is calculated from percentiles across four bathing seasons, not from any single sample — so one high reading doesn't mean a spot is unsafe, and one low reading doesn't mean it's clean today.

Storm overflows nearby
None of the storm overflows within 5 km with an up-to-date reading are discharging. Heavy rain makes combined sewers overflow into rivers and the sea by design, so this changes with the weather.

These are the water company’s own reports of when an overflow is operating, not a measurement of the water at this spot. A discharge into a river some distance away may never reach here; a quiet list does not mean the water is clean. 1 monitor is offline, so nothing is being reported for it either way. The swim status above comes from the bathing-water monitoring body and does not use this data.
