Questions about Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington
- Who operates Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington?
- South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 200080.
- Where does Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington discharge?
- The source names Common Lake Stream as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 5 counted spill events and 16.9 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 99.9% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington 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 Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington?

- Dartington Close SPS Pscsoeo Torrington recorded 5 spills in 2025. That is more than 34% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 8,927th nationally. Among South West Water overflows it ranks 974th of 1,357; the median South West Water overflow recorded 21 spills. On the Torridge (Lew to Estuary) waterbody it ranks 9th of 11.
