Port Ellen SPS 4 CSO 2005 Nr359457
Storm overflow run by Scottish Water, discharging into Loch Leodamis.
"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 28 February (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.
Twin outlet
Scottish Water runs another overflow within 300 m that also discharges into Loch Leodamis. They share the sewer and the storm, so one outlet's figures are only part of what reaches the water.
Discharges we have recorded
4 discharge periods since 12 Sep 2026, 1 still open. Recorded from the live status feed only — Scottish Water has not published an event-level log we hold, so this is what the feed has shown us, not a complete record. 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.

Report pollution you can see or smell to the regulator straight away; the company handles complaints about the overflow itself.
