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.

Discharges we have recorded

9 discharge periods since 21 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; the monitor log's 10 raw blocks were merged into 9 continuous discharge periods (gaps under 15 min joined).

Nearest live rain gauge: Monyquil Farm, 13.6 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).
