"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.

Official figures

149spills   341hours

2025, from 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. The monitor reported for 99% of the year.

"No data" means the monitor was not working or not required to report that year — not zero spills.

Discharges we have observed

2,009 discharge periods since 6 Feb 2024, 1 still open. 2,008 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Feb 2024 – Dec 2025); the live feed adds anything after that. The official annual count above is the figure to quote.

2024: 146 spills · 295 h · 151 days2025: 145 spills · 341 h · 151 days2026: 1 spill · 176 h · 8 days

Year chips use the EA's 12/24-hour counting method (the first 12 hours of a discharge count as one spill, each further 24-hour block with discharge as one more), so they are comparable with the official figures above; the monitor log's 2,440 raw blocks were merged into 2,009 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

Nearest live rain gauge: Ynysfro Raingauge, 4.3 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).
