Author: National Rivers Authority South West Region
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
Priory storm overflow on the River Tone at Taunton has 2 discharge points. As stated in the consent conditions, the outlets are used as follows: for the discharge of partially treated effluent; and for the discharge of sewage effluent following minimal treatment. In recent years, during the summer, the operation of the overflow, particularly the crude outlet, following sudden heavy rain at times of low river flow, has resulted in major fish mortalities. This report describes water quality and monitors the operation of Priory storm overflow and its effects on the River Tone throughout the summer of 1991.
