TBC water levels

7 gauges. None of the 5 that can be compared with a typical high is above it. Gauges in Carmarthenshire, Isle of Anglesey, Pembrokeshire, Swansea; levels are checked every 15 minutes.

Several distinct UK rivers share the name “TBC” — sections below are grouped by catchment.

Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the TBC above one of its gauges, from the source down. The river map knows where gauges are, not every stream, so a tributary without a gauge is not listed here.

TBC — Loughor Group

No gauged tributary joins the TBC above Pontarddulais River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the TBC goes

No gauge below Pontarddulais River Station is known on the river map.

TBC — Cleddau Group

No gauged tributary joins the TBC above Stepaside River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the TBC goes

No gauge below Stepaside River Station is known on the river map.

Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

Storm overflows upstream

TBC — Loughor Group

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Pontarddulais River Station on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.

Near these gauges, connection not known

Within 3 km of one of the TBC’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.

2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the TBC’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

TBC — Cleddau Group

1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Stepaside River Station, the TBC’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the TBC itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 1 not discharging
  • 0 offline or silent: 0 monitor offline, 0 status unknown, 0 no live feed

Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Stepaside River Station: 44 spills over 350 hours.

Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the TBC includes the smaller streams that join it there.

TBC — Anglesey

The river map cannot place these gauges on a river it can follow, so these are the monitored overflows closest to them, not the ones upstream.

A status is the water company’s own monitor, shown only when it has reported in the last two hours. It says whether an overflow is discharging — never how much, or why. Sewage in Britain’s rivers →

A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.
