- Southern Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is A00748.
- Where does Hartfield Road Bexhill CSO - 107691 discharge?
- The source names Controlled Sea as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Hartfield Road Bexhill CSO - 107691 spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 10 counted spill events and 21.7 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?
- 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 Hartfield Road Bexhill CSO - 107691 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 Hartfield Road Bexhill CSO - 107691?

- 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.
