| England | 5,789th of 14,239 | 11 | 22.3 |

| Bradford Beck (Clayton Bk to R Aire) | 22nd of 50 | 11.5 | 9.3 |
Rank 1 has the most spills. Equal counts share a rank. Only overflows with a reported count are ranked. Counts do not measure volume, so a higher rank does not mean more sewage.

Questions about Chestnut Street/CSO
- Who operates Chestnut Street/CSO?
- Yorkshire Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is WRA8241.
- Where does Chestnut Street/CSO discharge?
- The source names East Brook (Culverted) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Chestnut Street/CSO spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 16 counted spill events and 9 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 76.5% of the reporting period. Below 90%, some events can be missed, so the count and hours may understate activity.
- Is Chestnut Street/CSO 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 Chestnut Street/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 Chestnut Street/CSO compare with other overflows?
- Chestnut Street/CSO recorded 16 spills in 2025. That is more than 58% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 5,789th nationally. Among Yorkshire Water overflows it ranks 1,077th of 2,176; the median Yorkshire Water overflow recorded 16 spills. On the Bradford Beck (Clayton Bk to R Aire) waterbody it ranks 22nd of 50. 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.
