Advice against swimming at a beach in Devon has been lifted following a warning about sewage.
The agency said it was investigating after it detected "elevated readings of ammonia" at Exmouth Beach on Friday.
A spokesperson said the pollution had been found at Littleham Brook, which flows into the sea.
It said: "Our monitoring confirms that water quality returned to normal [on Friday] and is remaining stable so the precautionary advice against bathing has been lifted."
The agency said South West Water was supporting its continuing investigation.
The water company has been contacted for comment but said on Friday that it had not had any storm overflow spills in the area.

Warning of higher vegetable prices after heatwaves hit crops
Britain faces a potential broccoli shortage, with yields cut by over 50 per cent, due to unfavourable weather conditions including back-to-back heatwaves. Other brassicas like cauliflower and cabbage are also affected, alongside root crops such as carrots and onions, and staple crops like cereals and potatoes. The adverse conditions, including low river levels and lack of rain, have led to drier soil and significant shortfalls in crop production across affected areas. Farmers and the British Growers Association warn of reduced quality and size for some vegetables, expressing concerns about future food supplies and the viability of growing certain crops. The widespread impact on crop yields is expected to lead to price rises for essential vegetables and other food items at the point of sale.

UK braces for broccoli shortages amid warning vegetable could be smaller
Britain may soon be facing a broccoli shortage, farmers have warned, as unfavourable weather conditions see difficulties growing the popular vegetable. As the UK grapples with back-to-back heatwaves, crop and vegetable yields have been affected by the heat. Yields of broccoli crops have been cut by more than 50 per cent, growers have said. The adverse conditions may also be causing the quality and size of the popular green to be affected, with shoppers warned they could soon see smaller vegetables on the shelf. The British Growers Association (BGA) said supplies of brassicas – the family that includes broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage – are 'tight'. However, it is hoped better crop yields in wetter parts of the UK will ensure the vegetables will remain available for shoppers. Jack Ward, the BGA's chief executive, told the BBC: "In some areas, supplies of summer brassicas, cauliflowers and cabbages are tight. "Other root crops, carrots and onions have been kept going by the use of irrigation, but there are serious concerns about water supplies if the lack of rain continues. "At this stage, we are confident that the crops will be there, but the weather events of the last three months highlight the increasing uncertainty around our food supplies." The issue has mostly affected farmers in parts of the country that have seen low river levels and rainfall. As conditions make soil drier, substantial shortfalls have been reported. Arable farmer Martin Williams, chairman of the National Farmers' Union (NFU) Herefordshire branch, said he has seen a 50 per cent drop in his cereal yield. He adds that a third of the normal potato crop is likely, with a 70 per cent drop in grass grown for feed. "Going forward, it makes me wonder about the viability of growing cereal commodity crops,' he said. "It is a risk-based job but if I can manage my risk down by not growing those risky crops then maybe that's something I should look at." European countries have experienced continent-wide heatwaves this summer, with wildfires breaking out in several nations. In the UK, this has had severe impacts on public health, productivity and water availability. The impact on crop yields will also inevitably be translated to price rises at the point of sale, with essentials like vegetables and bread likely to become more expensive.

Farmers warn of worst ever harvest in latest blow
Farmers have warned that this year could be their worst ever harvest after a summer of drought. Heatwaves across parts of the country have left growers fearing a record-low yield for their crop and vegetable harvest. Broccoli farmers are particularly vulnerable, with one grower warning shoppers to expect smaller vegetables on shelves and higher prices. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, an independent think tank, also warned that farmers would 'stop farming' unless better provisions were put in place. The summer drought comes at a difficult time for farmers, who are already battling Rachel Reeves' inheritance tax raid. A record number of farms have closed this year after the Chancellor announced in October that she would cut the amount of inheritance tax relief available to family farms. It also comes alongside increased employers' National Insurance contributions and the raising of the minimum wage. Ben Andrews, who runs a mixed organic farm growing broccoli near Leominster, Herefordshire, said his crops were struggling and called for more Government support. 'It's quite a bit smaller than we'd expect it to be at this point,' he said of the broccoli head to the BBC. 'The heads should be a lot bigger than they are. Consumers might have to shift their expectations; be that the choice, size or shape of what they're buying, or even the price of what's on offer. 'I've been getting pretty stressed out just worrying. It's starting to become a risk that we can't really afford to keep taking every year.' The British Growers Association said this summer was 'proving to be yet another climatic challenge for growers', although struggles in some parts of the country were being mitigated by harvesting of crops in areas less affected by drought. Jack Ward, the association's chief executive, said: 'In some areas, supplies of summer brassicas, cauliflowers and cabbages are tight. 'Other root crops, carrots and onions, have been kept going by the use of irrigation, but there are serious concerns about water supplies if the lack of rain continues. 'At this stage, we are confident that the crops will be there, but the weather events of the last three months highlight the increasing uncertainty around our food supplies.' Arable farmer Martin Williams, who also runs a farm in Herefordshire, said his yield had been slashed by 'absolutely devastatingly dry' conditions. 'I don't remember a year as dry as this and I was around in 1976 but I was very young,' he said. 'This year has been quite a knock for income on this farm. I'm glad of the diversified income to compensate for it.' These sentiments were echoed by Jeremy Clarkson, who warned of a 'catastrophic' harvest earlier this month. The former Top Gear host, who now runs the Oxfordshire Diddly Squat farm, has shed light on the difficulties faced by the agricultural industry since the release of his Amazon hit series in 2021. It looks like this year's harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. — Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) August 8, 2025 The extreme dry weather marks the latest blow to hit the farming industry alongside Labour's inheritance tax raid. Currently, family farms do not incur inheritance tax, receiving full relief on the usual 40 per cent rate. Under the changes introduced by Ms Reeves, which take effect from April 2026, inheritance tax will be charged at a rate of 20 per cent, above a threshold of £1m. Farmers have objected that their businesses are typically cash-poor and low-margin, meaning they will be forced to sell chunks of their land to settle the bill. Other farmers have told The Telegraph that the impending increase has opened a ' suicide window ' for elderly business owners, who worry they will impose a financial burden on their children and grandchildren by staying alive beyond April next year. Ms Reeves's tax change, which alongside a similar reduction in the relief for family businesses is set to raise up to £520m a year for the Exchequer, caused an immediate backlash with Jeremy Clarkson leading farmers driving tractors into central London to protest outside Parliament. Data from the Office for National Statistics last month showed a total of 6,365 agriculture, forestry and fishing businesses have closed this year, the highest since quarterly data was first published in 2017. Rachel Hallos, the NFU's vice-president, said: 'The increasing extreme weather we are experiencing is impacting our ability to produce food and will have substantial financial consequences on some farm businesses. 'Although parts of the country have seen some rainfall, and farmers are no strangers to unpredictable weather, the extremes this year have been unprecedented. Last year's harvest was marked by heavy rain; this year, it's the lack of it. These fluctuations of drought and flood are becoming more pronounced and more regular. 'Food security must be a national priority and that means [the] Government supporting farmers and growers to build resilience. 'Farmers and growers need investment in climate adaptation and resilient crop varieties to safeguard our ability to feed the nation, weather market volatility and adapt to a changing climate. 'We also need investment in water infrastructure across the wider farming sector and planning reforms that allow us to better capture and store in times of plenty for use when it's needed.'
