Southern Water used its outfall pipes to discharge water into the sea off the Isle of Wight at Cowes, yesterday morning (Wednesday), and at Ryde, early on Wednesday and again on Wednesday night.
More discharges are likely, with heavy rain continuing today (Thursday).
Data is updated on Southern Water's Beachbuoy site each day and the most recent update shows the use of Appley Park Ryde Transfer - for more than eight hours - as well as Great Preston Road Ryde and Egypt Point, Cowes.
It is the third day in a row that outfall pipes have been used at Isle of Wight locations, as previously reported by the County Press.

It comes in a week when Isle of Wight MP Bob Seely asked a government minister if timescales can be moved forward, when it comes to dealing with the discharges, which Southern Water insists is 95 per cent rain water.
In his reponse, George Eustice did not commit, but said there needed to be a distinction between discharges with permission and those that are illegal.
Critics say the government missed its chance to ban the practice entirely and to set tighter timescales to stop it happening.
