- Where does Beech Grove CSO discharge?

- How many times did Beech Grove CSO spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 2 counted spill events and 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 99.4% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Beech Grove CSO discharging right now?
- This record is not matched to a company live feed, so we cannot show a current report. Only the annual figures are available for this outlet.
- 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 Beech Grove CSO?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “SO on sewer network”, which means storm overflow on the sewer network. The return places this overflow on the sewer network.
- How does Beech Grove CSO compare with other overflows?
- Beech Grove CSO recorded 2 spills in 2025. That is more than 21% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 10,428th nationally. Among United Utilities overflows it ranks 1,739th of 2,270; the median United Utilities overflow recorded 15 spills. On the Astley Brook (Mersey) waterbody it ranks 8th of 10.

- No. A zero means the annual return recorded zero counted spill events for this outlet and year. It is not a water-quality test, and pollution can come from other sources.
