Questions about Studland Watery Lane
- Who operates Studland Watery Lane?
- Wessex Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 041159.
- Where does Studland Watery Lane discharge?
- The source names Tributary of Studland Bay as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Studland Watery Lane spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return has no usable spill count for this outlet. Missing is not the same as zero.
- 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 Studland Watery Lane 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 Studland Watery Lane?
- 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.
- 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.
