Questions about The Gara
- Which outlets are linked to The Gara?

- South West Water operates every listed outlet. Contact the operator or the official pollution service if you see a problem in the water.
- Which outlets on The Gara are linked to a live feed?
- 4 of the 4 records are matched to a monitor in a company live feed. A link does not mean the monitor is working now. Use the status filters above to see the latest report for each outlet, with its date. The rest show annual figures only.
- How complete is the monitoring for The Gara?
- 1 of the listed records have monitor operation below 90% for 2025. Events can be missed when a monitor is not working, so low counts from those outlets may understate activity.
- Does this show if The Gara is safe?
- No. Event duration data does not measure bacteria, chemicals or current water quality. Use official local water-quality advice for that question.
