Questions about Temple Normanton/STW
- Who operates Temple Normanton/STW?
- Yorkshire Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is E294.
- Where does Temple Normanton/STW discharge?
- The source names Muster Brook as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Temple Normanton/STW spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 44 counted spill events and 284.3 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 100% of the reporting period, so the annual figures cover most of the year. They still do not measure discharge volume.
- Is Temple Normanton/STW 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 Temple Normanton/STW?
- The annual return lists the asset type as “Storm tank at WwTW”, which means storm tank at a wastewater treatment works. The overflow comes from storm storage at a treatment works.
- How does Temple Normanton/STW compare with other overflows?
- Temple Normanton/STW recorded 44 spills in 2025. That is more than 84% of the 14,239 overflows in England with a reported figure, and ranks 2,078th nationally. Among Yorkshire Water overflows it ranks 392nd of 2,176; the median Yorkshire Water overflow recorded 16 spills. On the Spital/Calow/Muster Brook waterbody it ranks 3rd of 7. Ranks compare counted spill events only. They do not compare volume or harm.
