2025, from 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. The monitor reported for 100% of the year.

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

Discharges we have observed

4,788 discharge periods since 1 Jan 2020, 1 still open. 4,787 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2020 – Dec 2025); the live feed adds anything after that. The official annual count above is the figure to quote.

2020: 235 spills · 979 h · 237 days2021: 280 spills · 819 h · 277 days2022: 243 spills · 516 h · 243 days2023: 270 spills · 2,696 h · 271 days2024: 313 spills · 2,164 h · 309 days2025: 312 spills · 2,307 h · 312 days2026: 1 spill · 174 h · 8 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 5,422 raw blocks were merged into 4,788 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

Nearest live rain gauge: Bolton Hill Raingauge, 5.4 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).
