- The source names Rowletch Burn as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Kingsmere SPS spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 0 counted spill events and 0 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 99.4% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Kingsmere SPS discharging right now?
- This record is not matched to a company live feed, so we cannot show a current report. Only the annual figures are available for this outlet.
- 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 Kingsmere SPS?
- 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 Kingsmere SPS compare with other overflows?
- Kingsmere SPS recorded no spills in 2025. It is one of 2,231 overflows in England with a reported count of zero, out of 14,239 with a count. 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.
