Questions about Field Adj Council Hses CSO Blackawton

Who operates Field Adj Council Hses CSO Blackawton?: South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 201809.
Where does Field Adj Council Hses CSO Blackawton discharge?: The source names Blackawton Stream as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
How many times did Field Adj Council Hses CSO Blackawton spill in 2025?: The 2025 return records 15 counted spill events and 3.8 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 97.3% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
Is Field Adj Council Hses CSO Blackawton 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 Field Adj Council Hses CSO Blackawton?: 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.

That is more than 56% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 5,981st nationally. Among South West Water overflows it ranks 773rd of 1,357; the median South West Water overflow recorded 21 spills. On the The Gara waterbody it ranks 3rd of 4. Ranks compare counted spill events only. They do not compare volume or harm.
