| England | 12,009th of 14,239 | 11 | 22.3 |
| Northumbrian Water | 1,305th of 1,559 | 11 | 15.6 |
| Derwent from Burnhope Burn to River Tyne | 43rd of 55 | 5 | 1.6 |

Questions about Whiskey Jacks SPS
- Who operates Whiskey Jacks SPS?
- Northumbrian Water is the operator named in the annual record. The permit reference is 234/1174.
- Where does Whiskey Jacks SPS discharge?
- The source names River Derwent as the receiving water. This does not show how far a discharge travelled.
- How many times did Whiskey Jacks SPS spill in 2025?
- The 2025 return records 0 counted spill events and 0 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 62.9% of the reporting period. Below 90%, some events can be missed, so the count and hours may understate activity.
- Is Whiskey Jacks SPS 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 Whiskey Jacks SPS?
- 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 Whiskey Jacks SPS compare with other overflows?
- Whiskey Jacks SPS recorded no spills in 2025. It is one of 2,231 overflows in England with a reported count of zero, out of 14,239 with a count. 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.
