Questions about Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street
- Who operates Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street?
- Wessex Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is NPSWQD002502.
- Where does Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street discharge?
- The source names River Yeo via SWS as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 10 counted spill events and 12.8 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 100% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street 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 Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street?
- 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 Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street compare with other overflows?
- Sherborne Ludborne Road / South Street recorded 10 spills in 2025. That is more than 47% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 7,195th nationally. Among Wessex Water overflows it ranks 686th of 1,332; the median Wessex Water overflow recorded 11 spills. On the Yeo waterbody it ranks 9th of 13. 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.
