Water quality

• Benefits from the 1996 St Agnes Clean Sweep scheme
• St Agnes sewage treatment works offers secondary treatment with ultraviolet disinfection
• The outfall from the works discharges to sea and is disinfected and designed to protect bathing water quality
• There are storm overflows from Cove and Peterville pumping stations. These overflows exist to protect homes, gardens, roads and open spaces from sewer flooding normally after storms
• The urban area behind the beach is served by a combined overflow system
• Bathing water quality in this area can be affected by urban drainage and agricultural run-off.
