Risks

There are a number of permitted storm overflows that discharge into the Teign Estuary. Historical evidence and data indicate that these overflows have the potential to affect bathing water quality during storm conditions. However, the impact can vary depending on factors such as tidal state and weather conditions. Additionally, it is important to note that certain overflows are assigned for investigative purposes and may not have an actual impact.

These include;
Gales Hill pumping station overflow, Teignmouth
Milford Park pumping station overflow, Teignmouth
Shaldon pumping station overflow, Teignmouth

Real time monitoring of these overflows can be found on South West Water Waterfit Website.
