London ’ s super sewer now fully connected – promising a greener , healthier River Thames
T ideway has officially activated London ’ s new super sewer , marking a major milestone in the city ’ s efforts to protect the River Thames from pollution . After a decade of construction , the final connection has been made between the Victorian sewer network and the 25km Thames Tideway Tunnel , bringing the entire system online .
The project , delivered by Costain in a joint venture with Vinci Construction Grands Projets and Bachy Soletanche , aims to prevent 95 % of sewage spills that previously flowed into the Thames due to population growth and climate change . Key connections were made at locations including Putney Embankment , Blackfriars Bridge , and Wapping .
Since initial connections began , 5.5 million cubic metres of sewage – equivalent to 2,200 Olympic swimming pools – has been diverted from the river . Tideway has launched an online tracker at www . tideway . london to provide regular updates on the system ’ s impact .
Chris Weston , Thames Water CEO , said : “ London ’ s Victorian sewer system was built for four million people but today , it serves over nine million . The final connection of the Thames Tideway Tunnel to our network is a major milestone in a three-stage programme to help London ’ s wastewater system cope with a growing population and the impact of climate change .”
