Visit Malton Sewer reveals the Yorkshire Water sewage spill data for Malton, Norton and Old Malton for the past five years: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 (the last available full-year data). The figures are taken from the EA EDM (Event Duration Monitoring) records and The Rivers Trust Sewage Map. The EA EDM records are highly detailed and include all the water companies in England. The Rivers Trust Sewage Map is very easy to navigate. Search for Malton and click on the brown dots to see the locations of the sewage pollution.
The EDM sewage spill records reveal how Yorkshire Water is pumping raw sewage into the river Derwent for thousands of hours each year. Its antiquated Malton and Norton sewerage system cannot cope with (transport and treat) the volume of foul sewage being produced by the population of the towns. Yorkshire Water is quietly polluting the watercourse with raw sewage rather than invest in upgrading its sewerage system.
Raw sewage is being pumped into the river Derwent on an industrial scale. More information will be uploaded here shortly, including data relating to the Malton, Norton, and Old Malton Pumping Plan.
