Ithon Road Storm Overflow
Storm overflow run by Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, discharging into River Ithon.
"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.
Downstream of this overflow
The next gauge downstream that the river map places is Disserth River Station (Ithon), 7.6 km along the river.
Water-sampling points downstream
The nearest Environment Agency sampling points the river map places below Disserth River Station. Points between this overflow and that gauge cannot be put in order with it on the map, so they are not listed.
- River Wye - Crowe Farm
70 km along the river · Last sampled 13 Aug 2026 · 56 days ago - Wye at Broomy Hill
98 km along the river · Last sampled 3 Jul 2026 · 3 months ago - River Wye at Symonds Yat West
167 km along the river · Last sampled 11 Dec 2025 · 10 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.

Discharges we have recorded
490 discharge periods since 6 Jan 2020, 1 still open. 490 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2020 – Dec 2023); 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 1,000 raw blocks were merged into 490 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).
Rain nearby last 30 days
Nearest live rain gauge: Llanyre Raingauge, 0.9 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.
