Thames Water films

Here you can view a selection of our commissioned films, including educational films, customer campaigns and films illustrating our company values and major projects

Singing Sewermen

The Singing Sewermen, Thames Water's very own choir of "flushers", have reworked the centuries-old Christmas carol 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen', entitling it 'This Christmas Think of Sewermen', in a bid to combat sewer abuse.

The carol, part of Thames Water's 'Bin it - don't block it' campaign, is a seasonal plea to customers to avoid washing grease from turkey dinners down drains because it cools in the sewers, sets hard and causes horrible blockages.

Carbon management

In December 2008, we took part in a short film produced by the FT.com to outline what we're doing to substantially reduce our carbon emissions across our sites.

The London On Tap campaign

The London On Tap campaign is a unique collaboration between Thames Water and the Mayor of London to promote tap water in London's restaurants, bars and hotels.

The campaign aims to empower customers to ask for tap water rather than feeling obliged to ask for expensive bottled brands.

It also encourages restaurants, bars and hotels to proudly serve tap water to customers, giving them a real choice about what water they can drink.

150 years since 'The Great Stink' of 1858 - the Thames Tideway Tunnel

We commissioned this short film mark the 150th anniversary of The Great Stink.

In the hot summer of 1858, the stench of sewage in the River Thames so offended MPs that Parliament was suspended and the Government agreed to "take immediate measures for abating the dangerous nuisance caused by the noxious state of the Thames".

Taking Responsibility Together

Filmed over a week in December 2007, this film gives a picture of the various roles that people around Thames Water carry out.

It looks at Thames Water past - focusing particularly on our rich Victorian heritage, present, and future.
