- How many times did Broadway Road CSO spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 4 counted spill events and 0.3 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 98.4% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Broadway Road 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.

Among Northumbrian Water overflows it ranks 1,017th of 1,559; the median Northumbrian Water overflow recorded 11 spills. On the Tyne waterbody it ranks 125th of 177.
