"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.

Official figures

2025, from Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water's annual Event Duration Monitoring return to Natural Resources Wales (12/24-hour spill count), as compiled by The Rivers Trust. The monitor reported for 100% of the year.

"No data" means the monitor was not working or not required to report that year — not zero spills.

Discharges we have observed

153 discharge periods since 3 Jun 2020, 1 still open. 152 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jun 2020 – Dec 2025); the live feed adds anything after that. The official annual count above is the figure to quote.

2020: 89 spills · 1,897 h · 90 days2021: 127 spills · 2,693 h · 127 days2022: 92 spills · 2,053 h · 92 days2023: 177 spills · 4,001 h · 181 days2024: 199 spills · 4,489 h · 201 days2025: 103 spills · 2,292 h · 103 days2026: 1 spill · 214 h · 10 days

Year chips use the EA's 12/24-hour counting method (the first 12 hours of a discharge count as one spill, each further 24-hour block with discharge as one more), so they are comparable with the official figures above; the monitor log's 230 raw blocks were merged into 153 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

Nearest live rain gauge: Llanbrynmair Raingauge, 8.4 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).
