Broad Lane SPS
Storm overflow run by Yorkshire Water, discharging into Howden Dike Drain.
"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).
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.
What the 2024 return says
From Yorkshire Water's annual return to the Environment Agency for this overflow.
This overflow spilled often enough to trigger the EA's high-spill review; the review line is the company's own stated reason.
Discharges we have recorded
We hold no discharge periods for this overflow: it has no live feed, and Yorkshire Water has published no event-level log for it that we hold. The official annual figure above is the record to rely on.

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).
