Risks

All storm overflows around Windermere are equipped to monitor the duration of spills and United Utilities have published an online map detailing the location of live spills events. This information can be used to aid a swimmer's decision to enter the water. The only storm overflow that discharges directly to the lake is Glebe Road storm overflow. This site was upgraded in 2013 to resolve flooding in the area. Between 2015 and 2020, Glebe Road Pump Station received upgrades to reduce the spill frequency.
