Narrative:

Flight [was] uneventful up to top of descent. A flight attendant advised forward lavatory overflowing onto carpet in first class and back into middle coach. We wrote it up and advised maintenance via ACARS. Later; on 15 mile final; an ECAM for first officer aoa vane was received. On taxi in an ECAM for air pack regulator was received and; while waiting for a gate; an ECAM for FAC1 appeared. These ecams cleared; but eventually came back to some degree during the next 10 minutes. Several more (I forget which ones) ecams were received while we were briefing maintenance at the gate. I think the lavatory overflow may have leaked into the east & east bay during descent and taxi; causing multiple; unrelated ecams to be displayed. I feel very fortunate to have been on the ground; and not had to deal with the majority of these events while airborne. After thinking the situation through; this seems to be an anomaly that may require landing as soon as possible if a forward lavatory overflows.

Title: An A320 Captain reported multiple seemingly unrelated ECAM messages were displayed on approach and after landing following a report of an overflowing forward lavatory shortly before beginning the descent.

Narrative: Flight [was] uneventful up to top of descent. A Flight Attendant advised forward lavatory overflowing onto carpet in First Class and back into middle coach. We wrote it up and advised maintenance via ACARS. Later; on 15 mile final; an ECAM for F/O AOA vane was received. On taxi in an ECAM for AIR PACK Regulator was received and; while waiting for a gate; an ECAM for FAC1 appeared. These ECAMs cleared; but eventually came back to some degree during the next 10 minutes. Several more (I forget which ones) ECAMs were received while we were briefing maintenance at the gate. I think the lavatory overflow may have leaked into the E & E bay during descent and taxi; causing multiple; unrelated ECAMs to be displayed. I feel very fortunate to have been on the ground; and not had to deal with the majority of these events while airborne. After thinking the situation through; this seems to be an anomaly that may require landing ASAP if a forward lavatory overflows.
