Griffin Park Pentre Storm Overflow
Storm overflow run by Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, discharging into Rhondda Fawr River.
"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
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. 2026 is our own running count, the same way, from the live feed since 23 September (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.
"No data" means the monitor was not working or not required to report that year — not zero.
Other outlets here
Dwr Cymru Welsh Water runs 2 other overflows within 300 m that also discharge into Rhondda Fawr River. They share the sewer and the storm, so one outlet's figures are only part of what reaches the water.
This overflow: 13 spills in 2025. Distances are between the published outlet points.
Downstream of this overflow
The next gauge downstream that the river map places is Gelli River Station (Rhondda Fawr), 1.3 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
268 discharge periods since 9 Jan 2020. 267 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2020 – Dec 2025); the live feed adds anything after that. 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 317 raw blocks were merged into 268 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).
What the feed showed
FloodRadar's own record of every change of state Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's live feed has shown for this overflow, kept since : 1 state. The feed publishes its status now and its latest discharge, nothing older; the discharges above are read from this. It is here so the figures can be checked.

Rain nearby last 30 days
Nearest live rain gauge: Blaenogwr Raingauge, 2.9 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).
Where it is
Tell me when this overflow discharges
One message when the company's monitor reports a new discharge here. At most one every 6 hours.
Setting this alert needs JavaScript. The alerts you already have are on your alerts page.
The alert repeats the monitor's status: whether the overflow is discharging, not how much or why. It can only tell you about a discharge that starts after you turn it on.
Concerned about this overflow?
Report pollution you can see or smell to the regulator straight away; the company handles complaints about the overflow itself.
