Halam - Mansfield Road (CSO)
Storm overflow run by Severn Trent Water, discharging into Halam Beck.
"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.
Downstream of this overflow
The next gauge downstream that the river map places is Southwell (River Greet), 6.8 km along the river.
Water-sampling points downstream
The nearest Environment Agency sampling points the river map places below Southwell. Points between this overflow and that gauge cannot be put in order with it on the map, so they are not listed.
- River Greet at Fiskerton Mill
12 km along the river, below Southwell · Last sampled 20 May 2026 · 5 months ago - Trent upstream of Farndon
15 km along the river, below Southwell · Last sampled 4 Sep 2026 · 51 days ago - River Trent at Winthorpe (New)
27 km along the river · Last sampled 7 Jul 2026 · 4 months ago
A sample is dated: it is not the river now, and its results are on its own page. A sample taken after a discharge does not show that the discharge caused what was measured.

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.

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
25 discharge periods since 14 May 2024. 25 of them come from Severn Trent Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published on Stream, May 2024 – Dec 2024); 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.
Rain nearby last 30 days
Nearest live rain gauge: Rainfall gauge nr Woodborough, 7.2 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).
