Sensor data may be unreliable — recent readings are physically implausible
for this gauge (far outside its normal range). Treat the level shown with caution; the EA
may be reporting a faulty sensor.
EA feed mis-plumbed: Anglian-region measure publishing ~53 mAOD at a sea-level site; EA detail/measures endpoints delisted (station half-retired). Values are likely another station's.

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.
6 storm overflows are traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 4.1 km away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 5 report not discharging, and for 1 the monitor is offline or has not reported, so their status is not known.

7 more within 6 km whose connection is not known.
1 other overflow within 6 km is downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so it is 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 →
Warnings apply to a whole flood area, not necessarily this exact spot. Years before 2006 aren't covered by the EA's historic record.
