North Ferry Water Recycling Centre
Storm overflow run by Anglian Water, discharging into R.humber.
"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). 2026 is our own running count, the same way, from Anglian Water's monitor log and the live feed. The feed reports only each overflow's latest discharge, so a discharge it moved past before we saw it end is counted as one spill with no hours: the hours are a floor. The official figure is published next spring.
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.
What the 2025 return says
From Anglian Water's annual return to the Environment Agency for this overflow.
This overflow spilled often enough to trigger the EA's high-spill review; the review line is the company's own stated reason.
Discharges we have recorded
926 discharge periods since 20 Jan 2024, 358 whose end the feed never gave. 788 of them come from Anglian Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published on Stream, Jan 2024 – Jun 2026); 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 16,060 raw blocks were merged into 926 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).
What the feed showed
FloodRadar's own record of every change of state Anglian Water's live feed has shown for this overflow, kept since : 56 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.

Rain nearby last 30 days
Nearest live rain gauge: Rainfall gauge nr Thornton Curtis, 4.8 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.
