I've sent an email to what I hope is the right address. Please let me know if you received it. Also, what is your background? Do you have data handling experience or qualifications?

Hi Felix Thanks for getting in touch - Can you drop me a mail at press at top-of-the-poops.org and we can have a chat.
For general information though, and for anyone else that's interested. We gather information from the relevant environment agencies - be it https://environment.data.gov.uk https://lle.gov.wales or https://naturalresourceswales.sharefile.eu - and then parse and clean the data as best we can.
I would definitely give a general disclaimer that this is "best efforts" - we don't guarantee any of the numbers - but at teh same time we spend quite a bit of effort to try to reflect the real situation.
We have had an accuracy statement on the website since we launched "This website is intended to provide an accurate representation of the Environment Agency data. The data is hard to use, and thus some errors may have been made. If you find something that is incorrect, please raise an issue at the GitHub issues page and we'll endeavour to fix it quickly." - no correction has ever been requested.
The links to the datasources are all on the README on the front page of this project. Regrettably, sometimes the links to the actual data sets are time-limited, so sometimes you'll need to navigate to them via some or other route.

I should point out that "it might be inaccurate" is pretty much lifted from the "Deny, Deceive, Delay" tactic book of climate change denial.

None of these notes should be interpreted as being a "comment for publication" - only general public information.

How long has the website been up in the public domain?

Great. And presumably you can't see the rate of increase or decrease for Welsh Water discharges due to a lack of data?
from top-of-the-poops.
Hiya. We only have two years of data. All increases and decreases are on the site, either by constituency, or, near the bottom of the page (count of sewage spills), totals by company- although not increases by company there.
If you have other stats that you think useful, please just let us know and we can consider adding them.
