Peover Eye

A stream near Lower Peover, Cheshire West and Chester. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.

Peover Eye is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Lower Peover, Cheshire West and Chester, with about 18 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Wincham Brook, which flows on into Wade Brook, then Witton Brook; beyond that the map has a gap, so where it goes next is not known.

Next gauge downstream

Not known: the river map does not trace this water as far as a gauge or the sea (the map has a gap, the water enters a canal, or the next gauge is more than 100 km away).

Storm overflows on Peover Eye

1 storm overflow is placed on this stream on the river map. Each status is the water company’s own monitor.

A status says whether an overflow is discharging now, never how much or why. A monitor that is offline or has not reported is not “not discharging”. Sewage in Britain’s rivers →

Water-sampling points on Peover Eye

6 Environment Agency sampling points are placed on this stream. These are dated samples taken by hand, not live readings, and FloodRadar does not grade them.

A sample is taken on a date; it says nothing about the water today. A sample below an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from.
