The Thames Tideway Tunnel is part of a 3-stage project to cut river pollution and clean up the Thames. It will connect with 34 of the most polluting overflow points along the river, collecting sewage that currently overflows into the Thames and transfering it to Beckton for treatment.
London’s sewage system was designed in the 1860s for a city of around 4 million. There are now around 8 million people living in the capital. Although the system still works well it’s struggling to cope in terms of capacity. The result is that millions of tonnes of sewage pour into the river Thames every year.
