Questions about Langton Beck PS
- Who operates Langton Beck PS?
- Northumbrian Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 252/1001.
- Where does Langton Beck PS discharge?
- The source names Langton Beck (Tees) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Langton Beck PS spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 24 counted spill events and 72.8 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 63.9% of the reporting period. Below 90%, some events can be missed, so the count and hours may understate activity.
- Is Langton Beck PS 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 Langton Beck PS?
- 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 Langton Beck PS compare with other overflows?
- Langton Beck PS 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 Northumbrian Water overflows it ranks 438th of 1,559; the median Northumbrian Water overflow recorded 11 spills. On the Piercebridge Beck from Source to Tees waterbody it ranks 1st of 3. 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.
