- Northumbrian Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 243/0993.
- Where does Hall Farm CSO (Se037) discharge?
- The source names Wear Tributary as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Hall Farm CSO (Se037) spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 9 counted spill events and 3.7 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?

- Is Hall Farm CSO (Se037) 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 Hall Farm CSO (Se037)?
- 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.
