"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 Yorkshire Water's monitor log and the live feed. 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.

Twin outlet

Yorkshire Water runs another overflow within 300 m that also discharges into Skittergate Gutter. They share the sewer and the storm, so one outlet's figures are only part of what reaches the water.

"High spill threshold not met" means this overflow did not spill often enough to trigger the EA's formal high-spill review for that year. It is not a statement that the spills were harmless.

Discharges we have recorded

7 discharge periods since 9 Dec 2025. 3 of them come from Yorkshire Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published on Stream, Jan 2026 – May 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 9 raw blocks were merged into 7 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

What the feed showed

FloodRadar's own record of every change of state Yorkshire Water's live feed has shown for this overflow, kept since : 3 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.

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.

Write to the MP

The Environment Agency's return places this overflow in the Skipton and Ripon constituency. An MP can ask the company and the regulator questions on a constituent's behalf. These words carry the official figures; change them as you like.

The link opens Parliament's own "Find your MP", which gives the MP's name and how to write to them. FloodRadar sends nothing and keeps nothing you write. Check the constituency against your own address: an MP acts only for people who live in it.
