"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

234overflow events   1,754hours

2025, from Scottish Water's overflow data reported to SEPA (number of overflow events; Scottish Water does not use the 12/24-hour count). The monitor reported for 83% of the year.

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

407 discharge periods since 1 Jan 2024, 1 still open. 402 of them come from Scottish Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2024 – Dec 2025); the live feed adds anything after that. The official annual count above is the figure to quote.

2024: 296 spills · 5,832 h · 295 days2025: 130 spills · 1,754 h · 129 days2026: 2 spills · 46 h · 3 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 415 raw blocks were merged into 407 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

Nearest live rain gauge: Perth Norwich Union, 5.1 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).
