EA station status: Suspended (the Environment Agency has suspended this gauge)
Since 17 Sep 2026, in the EA's words: “This station is temporarily unavailable due to an equipment fault. We are working to get the station back online.”
Storm overflows whose water reaches this gauge on the mapped river network, nearest first by distance along the river. The status is each water company's monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, not how much or what it contains.
88 storm overflows are traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 540 m away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 82 report not discharging, and for 6 the monitor is offline or has not reported, so their status is not known.

15 other overflows within 6 km are downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so they are not listed.
These are the water companies' monitor statuses; a spill does not by itself explain a change in the gauge level. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels. Explore the sewage map →
