Questions about Bewholme/STW
- Who operates Bewholme/STW?
- Yorkshire Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is WRA8337.
- Where does Bewholme/STW discharge?
- The source names Unnamed Tributary of Stream Dike as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Bewholme/STW spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 36 counted spill events and 272.3 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 99.8% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Bewholme/STW 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 Bewholme/STW?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “Inlet SO at WwTW”, which means inlet storm overflow at a wastewater treatment works. The overflow is at the inlet of a treatment works, where wastewater enters the works.

- Bewholme/STW recorded 36 spills in 2025. That is more than 79% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 2,801st nationally. Among Yorkshire Water overflows it ranks 543rd of 2,176; the median Yorkshire Water overflow recorded 16 spills. On the Barmston Sea Drain / Skipsea Drain to Conf waterbody it ranks 2nd of 3. Ranks compare counted spill events only. They do not compare volume or harm.
