Questions about Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO)
- Who operates Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO)?
- Severn Trent Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is T/24/12286/O.
- Where does Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO) discharge?
- The source names River Trent (Non-TIDAL) as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO) spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 69 counted spill events and 637 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 95.6% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO) 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 Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO)?
- 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 Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO) compare with other overflows?
- Newton Solney - Blacksmiths Lane (SSO) recorded 69 spills in 2025. That is more than 94% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 792nd nationally. Among Severn Trent Water overflows it ranks 45th of 2,431; the median Severn Trent Water overflow recorded 8 spills. On the Trent - R Tame to R Dove waterbody it ranks 1st of 25. Ranks compare counted spill events only. They do not compare volume or harm.
