Questions about Rolle Rd CSO Torrington
- Who operates Rolle Rd CSO Torrington?
- South West Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 200076/CS/01.
- Where does Rolle Rd CSO Torrington discharge?
- The source names Castle Hill Stream as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Rolle Rd CSO Torrington spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 58 counted spill events and 75 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 98.4% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Rolle Rd CSO Torrington 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 10 metres. It shows the recorded outlet position, not the extent of any discharge.
- What kind of outlet is Rolle Rd CSO Torrington?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “SO on sewer network”, which means storm overflow on the sewer network. The return places this overflow on the sewer network.
- How does Rolle Rd CSO Torrington compare with other overflows?
- Rolle Rd CSO Torrington recorded 58 spills in 2025. That is more than 91% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 1,191st nationally. Among South West Water overflows it ranks 292nd of 1,357; the median South West Water overflow recorded 21 spills. On the Torridge (Lew to Estuary) waterbody it ranks 4th of 11. 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.
