- Severn Trent Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is T/41/40224/O.

- How many times did Alfreton - Meadow Lane (SSO) spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 33 counted spill events and 83.1 hours of recorded discharge. Spills are counted with the 12/24-hour method, so this is not a count of every start signal.
- Can I trust the 2025 figures for this outlet?
- The monitor worked for 100% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Alfreton - Meadow Lane (SSO) discharging right now?
- This record is linked to a company live feed. The panel above shows the latest report we hold, with its date. That report can be old, and the monitor can be offline, so check the date before relying on it. A report that no discharge is taking place is not a water-quality result.
- How accurate is the map marker?
- The marker comes from the grid reference in the official annual return, which is accurate to about 1 metres. It shows the recorded outlet position, not the extent of any discharge.
- What kind of outlet is Alfreton - Meadow Lane (SSO)?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “Storm discharge at pumping station”, which means storm discharge at a pumping station. The overflow is at a pumping station that moves sewage through the network.
- How does Alfreton - Meadow Lane (SSO) compare with other overflows?
- Alfreton - Meadow Lane (SSO) recorded 33 spills in 2025. That is more than 77% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 3,116th nationally. Among Severn Trent Water overflows it ranks 321st of 2,431; the median Severn Trent Water overflow recorded 8 spills. On the Alfreton Brook from Westwood Brook to Amber waterbody it ranks 2nd of 6.
