Glenfield/Kirby Muxloe PS/Stm/Sws
Storm overflow run by Severn Trent Water, discharging into Glenfield/braunstone/k/mux Br.
"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: our own log of it begins on 28 February, and the discharges before that are Top of the Poops' record of the same feed. 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
Severn Trent Water runs another overflow within 300 m that also discharges into Glenfield/braunstone/k/mux Br. They share the sewer and the storm, so one outlet's figures are only part of what reaches the water.
This overflow (Glenfield - Station Road (CSO)): 1 spill in 2025. Distances are between the published outlet points. The names in brackets are Severn Trent Water's own, from its return.
What the 2025 return says
From Severn Trent Water's annual return to the Environment Agency for this overflow.
"High spill threshold not met" means this overflow did not spill often enough to trigger the EA's formal high-spill review for that year. It is not a statement that the spills were harmless.
Discharges we have recorded
7 discharge periods since 2 Jan 2024. 5 of them come from Severn Trent Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published on Stream, Jan 2024 – Nov 2025); this overflow has no live feed, so nothing after that log is held. 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 8 raw blocks were merged into 7 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).
Rain nearby last 30 days
Nearest live rain gauge: Rainfall gauge nr Thornton, 6.6 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).
