What these terms mean
- Excellent-rated share
- The share of a local authority's EPA-designated bathing waters rated 'Excellent' that year, out of all its designated bathing waters (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor, or awaiting a rating).
- Designated bathing water
- A site the EPA has formally designated for water-quality monitoring under the Bathing Water Regulations — not every beach or lake shore, only those designated. Source
Before you use these figures
- Not available for this area: No figure is published at or above Waterford.
- Only local authorities with designated bathing waters are shown: The EPA publishes bathing water ratings only for local authorities with at least one EPA-designated bathing water — an inland or landlocked authority with none simply has no figure here, which is not the same as a poor rating. This site never shows such an authority as zero or ranks it against ones that do have designated bathing waters.
- A single bathing water can swing a small authority's whole figure: Some local authorities have only one or two designated bathing waters. One site's rating there is the whole figure, so it moves in large steps and is not comparable to a larger coastal authority with many sites — authorities below a minimum number of sites are left out of the ranking table for this reason, though their own figure is still shown.
- Latest figure: 2024 — 2 years old: This dataset is published annually and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
