- How many times did Bardon Mill (Station House) P.S. spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 40 counted spill events and 57.9 hours of recorded discharge. Spills are counted with the 12/24-hour method, so this is not a count of every start signal.

- The monitor worked for 99.8% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Bardon Mill (Station House) P.S. 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 Bardon Mill (Station House) P.S.?

- Bardon Mill (Station House) P.S. recorded 40 spills in 2025. That is more than 82% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 2,394th nationally.
