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
In February 2010, Thames Water's Chief Operating Officer, Steve Shine and Head of Communications, Jayne Farrin visited Tanzania to witness first hand how the charity WaterAid are planning to use the £630,000 raised by Thames Water at its 2009 Love Water Ball.
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.

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.

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.

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".
