"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

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. 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.

Discharges we have recorded

1,467 discharge periods since 1 Jan 2020, 1 still open, 20 whose end the feed never gave. 1,467 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2020 – Dec 2021); 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 5,825 raw blocks were merged into 1,467 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

Nearest live rain gauge: Tavernspite Raingauge, 10.1 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).

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.
