Questions about East Hartford PS
- Who operates East Hartford PS?
- Northumbrian Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 226/1089.
- Where does East Hartford PS discharge?
- The source names Horton Burn (River Blyth) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did East Hartford PS spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 12 counted spill events and 45.2 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 91.9% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is East Hartford PS 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 East Hartford PS?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “Storm discharge at pumping station”, which means storm discharge at a pumping station. The overflow is at a pumping station that moves sewage through the network.
- How does East Hartford PS compare with other overflows?
- East Hartford PS recorded 12 spills in 2025. That is more than 51% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 6,643rd nationally. Among Northumbrian Water overflows it ranks 723rd of 1,559; the median Northumbrian Water overflow recorded 11 spills. On the Blyth from Pont to Tidal Limit waterbody it ranks 3rd of 7. 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.
