Questions about Nethergate/No 2 SPS

Who operates Nethergate/No 2 SPS?: Yorkshire Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is WRA7809.
Where does Nethergate/No 2 SPS discharge?: The source names Nafferton Beck as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
How many times did Nethergate/No 2 SPS spill in 2025?: The 2025 return records 13 counted spill events and 173.3 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 37% of the reporting period. Below 90%, some events can be missed, so the count and hours may understate activity.
Is Nethergate/No 2 SPS 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 Nethergate/No 2 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 Nethergate/No 2 SPS compare with other overflows?: Nethergate/No 2 SPS recorded 13 spills in 2025. That is more than 53% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 6,413th nationally. Among Yorkshire Water overflows it ranks 1,170th of 2,176; the median Yorkshire Water overflow recorded 16 spills. On the Nafferton Beck from Source to to Driffield Canal waterbody it ranks 2nd 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.
