Thames Water
EUROPE puzzle to tackling sewage discharge into the capital ’ s iconic river is the Thames Tideway Tunnel , something which is marked to kick off in the next AMP cycle and is “ a mustdo project ”, subject to planning consent .
“ London in particular has outgrown its sewer system ,” Collington said . “ It was designed for two million people and now it is used by more than six million .
“ It will stop tens of millions of tonnes of untreated sewage flowing into the Thames every year , has cross-party support , and is part of the national infrastructure plan . We can ’ t keep using the river as a sewer .”
The tunnel will be 16 miles ( 25km ) in length and will broadly run underneath the river , vastly improving its water quality and bringing benefits to consumers and the surrounding environment .
Water sampling , with last years results the best in the industry
