Questions about Caravan Park CSO Stokenham
- Who operates Caravan Park CSO Stokenham?
- South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 201706.
- Where does Caravan Park CSO Stokenham discharge?
- The source names Slapton Ley (S) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Caravan Park CSO Stokenham spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 28 counted spill events and 18.8 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 76.3% of the reporting period. Below 90%, some events can be missed, so the count and hours may understate activity.
- Is Caravan Park CSO Stokenham 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 10 metres. It shows the recorded outlet position, not the extent of any discharge.
- What kind of outlet is Caravan Park CSO Stokenham?
- 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 Caravan Park CSO Stokenham compare with other overflows?
- Caravan Park CSO Stokenham recorded 28 spills in 2025. That is more than 72% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 3,771st nationally. Among South West Water overflows it ranks 578th of 1,357; the median South West Water overflow recorded 21 spills. On the The Gara waterbody it ranks 2nd of 4. Ranks compare counted spill events only. They do not compare volume or harm.
- Does zero spills mean the water was safe?
- 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.
