Questions about Galloper Pool PS
- Who operates Galloper Pool PS?
- United Utilities is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 017680341.
- Where does Galloper Pool PS discharge?
- The source names Galloper Pool as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Galloper Pool PS spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 18 counted spill events and 53.2 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 98.9% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Galloper Pool 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 Galloper Pool 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 Galloper Pool PS compare with other overflows?
- Galloper Pool PS recorded 18 spills in 2025. That is more than 60% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 5,407th nationally. Among United Utilities overflows it ranks 1,054th of 2,270; the median United Utilities overflow recorded 15 spills. On the Lune - conf Birk Beck to conf Rawthey waterbody it ranks 2nd of 3. 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.
