"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

Scottish Water's published data for monitored overflows (number of overflow events; Scottish Water does not use the 12/24-hour count). 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. Scottish Water counts each overflow event; England and Wales count 12/24-hour "spills", so these numbers are not directly comparable with English or Welsh overflows.

Discharges we have recorded

1 discharge period since 1 Jan 2024, 1 still open. 1 of them come from Scottish Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2024 – Jan 2024); 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 23 raw blocks were merged into 1 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

What the feed showed

FloodRadar's own record of every change of state Scottish Water's live feed has shown for this overflow, kept since : 6 states. 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.

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.
