This is a sewage discharge monitoring station, which is usually a type of Event Duration Monitor (EDM). These stations themselves are designed to mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall by discharging, under permitted conditions, any overflow into a water body. They are often actively discharging during flood events. This page presents the data acquired by the monitoring system for this discharge station.
