Par (St Austell)

Par

Par is a large sandy resort on the south Cornish coast. The attractive harbour and scenery make it an excellent choice for a walk along the coastal path.

Water quality

• Benefits from the 1993 Par Clean Sweep scheme
• Par sewage treatment works offers secondary treatment
• The outfall from the works discharges to sea and is designed to protect bathing water quality
• There is a storm overflow from Par No.2 pumping station and an emergency overflow from Par No.1 pumping station. These overflows exist to protect homes, gardens, roads and open spaces from sewer flooding normally after storms
• Bathing water quality in this area can be affected by urban drainage and agricultural runoff.
