Annathill WwTW Ssso
Storm overflow run by Scottish Water, discharging into Gain Burn.
"Not discharging" means the company's monitor reports no discharge right now — not that the water is clean. The feed publishes status only; no discharge volume is measured.
Year by year
The Environment Agency's official annual returns, counted the EA's way (12/24-hour spills). 2026 is our own running count, the same way, from the live feed since 28 February (when we began keeping every discharge it reports) — so it can only be lower than the full year. The official figure is published next spring.
A spill is the EA's 12/24-hour count: the first 12 hours of a discharge count as one, each further 24 hours with discharge as one more. "Monitor" is the share of that year the monitor was working, so a 0 beside a working monitor is a real zero; "no data" means the monitor produced no usable data that year — not zero. Years before 2024 are matched to this site by name and location, because the EA's site IDs changed that year; a monitor figure beside one of them means the outlet's permit confirms the match.
Twin outlet
Scottish Water runs another overflow within 300 m that also discharges into Gain Burn. They share the sewer and the storm, so one outlet's figures are only part of what reaches the water.
Downstream of this overflow
The next gauge downstream that the river map places is Condorrat (Luggie Water), 3.3 km along the river.
A river gauge measures the level of the river; it does not measure this overflow's discharge, and a spill does not by itself explain a change there. Traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.

Discharges we have recorded
15 discharge periods since 23 Sep 2026. Recorded from the live status feed only — Scottish Water has not published an event-level log we hold, so this is what the feed has shown us, not a complete record. The official annual count is the figure to quote.

The year figures above use the EA's 12/24-hour counting method, so they are comparable with the official figures; the monitor log's 21 raw blocks were merged into 15 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).
Rain nearby last 30 days
Nearest live rain gauge: Glenmavis, 2.0 km away. Brown shading = when this overflow was discharging; ▼ = a discharge start.
Overflow shading is a timing match, not proof of cause — heavy rain and spills share a trigger. Times come from the water company’s event-duration monitor (site status only; no discharge volume is published).

Concerned about this overflow?
Report pollution you can see or smell to the regulator straight away; the company handles complaints about the overflow itself.
Live status: © Scottish Water, near-real-time Overflow Map data, open licence for reuse. EDM monitors indicate overflows; they do not confirm them, and this is not advice on water quality. Times are shown in UK local time. FloodRadar republishes the monitor's status; it does not measure discharges itself.
