London Tideway Improvements - Creating a cleaner, healthier Thames

London's Victorian sewerage system was designed to overflow into the River Thames during extreme weather when the sewers reached capacity, to prevent homes and streets from flooding.

The system is struggling to cope with the demands of 21st century London, and discharges are now happening much more frequently. We have developed three major engineering schemes to tackle this.

Thames Gateway Water Treatment Works - Keeping London on tap

To ensure London has enough water in the event of a drought, we've built a new water treatment works in Beckton, east London.

The Thames Gateway Water Treatment Works will, when required, take water from the tidal Thames and use a process called desalination to remove the salt, producing high-quality drinking water.

Thames in Tanzania

They spent four days visiting local communities in the Dodoma region who are yet to benefit from WaterAid's support. They also spent one day visiting communities near Dar es Salaam who now have access to clean water and sanitation.

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.
