A list of private water abstractions and flooding information for an area 4 km in radius around Countess Wear Sludge Treatment Centre. The NGR is SX 94806 89046 and the nearest postcode is EX2 7EQ.
Please note, this request relates to abstractions, comprising of <20m3/day which do not require a license from the Environment Agency.
For the private abstractions request, we would ideally like to know as much information as is available but mainly the following:
- Volumes abstracted
- Purpose of use
- Source (borehole, spring etc.)
- Location (this can be a map but ideally a grid reference).
Devon County Council holds no information about private water supplies as this is not part of the Council’s remit.
We would also like to know about any flood information that may be available. Specifically:
- Records of historic flooding in the site vicinity
- Any flood modelling that has been undertaken around the site.
Devon County Council holds no specific records of historic flooding at this location, other than an outline of the flood extents taken from an aerial photograph in October 1960 as shown in this map. Devon County Council has not carried out and has no access to any flood modelling in this area. As this is a main river, further information may be available from the Environment Agency.
