Questions about Hatt STW SSO Hatt
- Who operates Hatt STW SSO Hatt?
- South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is NRA-SW-0007.
- Where does Hatt STW SSO Hatt discharge?
- The source names River Lynher as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Hatt STW SSO Hatt spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 24 counted spill events and 304 hours of recorded discharge. Spills are counted with the 12/24-hour method, so this is not a count of every start signal.

- Is Hatt STW SSO Hatt 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.
