Questions about Frampton Cotterell West End Nightingales Bridge
- Who operates Frampton Cotterell West End Nightingales Bridge?
- Wessex Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 101031.
- Where does Frampton Cotterell West End Nightingales Bridge discharge?
- The source names River Frome as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Frampton Cotterell West End Nightingales Bridge spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 60 counted spill events and 419.8 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 100% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Frampton Cotterell West End Nightingales Bridge 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 Frampton Cotterell West End Nightingales Bridge?
- 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.

Among Wessex Water overflows it ranks 63rd of 1,332; the median Wessex Water overflow recorded 11 spills. On the Frome (Brist) - conf Laddon Bk to conf Folly Bk waterbody it ranks 1st of 10. Ranks compare counted spill events only. They do not compare volume or harm.

- 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.
