Llandeilo Swing Bridge is a well-known inland river bathing water in Carmarthenshire, Wales, recognized for its shingle terrain. Official water quality sampling at this location currently carries an annual rating of pending. Designated in 2026, the site is maintained under national environmental monitoring standards.
The shoreline consists primarily of shingle. Sediment type dictates underfoot comfort, wave energy absorption, and the water's clarity when currents stir up the seabed.
No compliance history or monitoring status is available for this bathing water profile for the current monitoring cycle.
Bacterial levels are highly susceptible to storm runoff. Heavy rainfall in the local catchment is likely to trigger storm overflows and agricultural runoff, rendering the water temporarily unsafe.
Tested weekly by the Environment Agency England for bacteria levels (E. coli & Intestinal Enterococci) between May and September.
Monitored as an inland river bathing water. River sites are heavily influenced by upstream rainfall, agricultural runoff, and storm overflows, with water flow changing quickly after rain.
Unknown is the regional utility responsible for waste water treatment, sewage infrastructure, and storm overflow management in this catchment area.
Officially designated as a protected bathing water site in 2026. This designation mandates regular public health monitoring.
Governed under local district sanitation and environmental safety regulations in the Carmarthenshire area.
