Questions about Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton

Who operates Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton?: South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 203090.
Where does Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton discharge?: The source names Surface Water Sewer (S) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
How many times did Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton spill in 2025?: The 2025 return records 24 counted spill events and 44.1 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 40% of the reporting period. Below 90%, some events can be missed, so the count and hours may understate activity.
Is Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton 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 Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton?: 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.
How does Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton compare with other overflows?: Horns Park CSO Bishopsteignton recorded 24 spills in 2025. That is more than 68% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 4,364th nationally. Among South West Water overflows it ranks 629th 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.
