Questions about Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven
- Who operates Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven?
- South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 033473/PC/01.
- Where does Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven discharge?
- The source names Mounts Bay as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 13 counted spill events and 53.5 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 Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven 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 Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven?
- 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 Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven compare with other overflows?
- Harbour SPS Pscsoeo Porthleven recorded 13 spills in 2025. That is more than 53% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 6,413th nationally. Among South West Water overflows it ranks 804th of 1,357; the median South West Water overflow recorded 21 spills. 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.
