Questions about Hullavington Storm Tank
- Who operates Hullavington Storm Tank?
- Wessex Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 101441.
- Where does Hullavington Storm Tank discharge?
- The source names Gauze Brook (S) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Hullavington Storm Tank spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 79 counted spill events and 1,286 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 Hullavington Storm Tank 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 Hullavington Storm Tank?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “Storm tank at WwTW”, which means storm tank at a wastewater treatment works. The overflow comes from storm storage at a treatment works.
- How does Hullavington Storm Tank compare with other overflows?
- Hullavington Storm Tank recorded 79 spills in 2025. That is more than 96% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 531st nationally. Among Wessex Water overflows it ranks 26th of 1,332; the median Wessex Water overflow recorded 11 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.
