Investment plans

River Crane in Pevensey Road NR and Little Park Reach LB Hounslow

We want to do the right thing for our watercourses and the communities that love them.

Our aims are to:

  • Discharge higher quality treated effluent to required standards
  • Reduce potentially polluting discharges to our rivers
  • Work with partners to improve river water quality

Our overall plans

We aim to enhance river water quality, as well as improve our wastewater systems.

Pollution incident reduction

Our pollution incident reduction plan (PIRP) investigates the causes of pollution and explores how to tackle the problem.

Storm overflow action plan

Our storm overflow action plan outlines how we'll deliver against governmental targets.

Our five-year plan

Our plans as a business, from 2025 to 2030.

Investment plans for storm discharges

We're making improvements at over 250 of our sites. This will help to significantly reduce the need for sewage discharges into rivers, as well as improve the quality of the treated effluent being returned to the river.

Groundwater plans

In areas where there is a risk of groundwater infiltration of the sewers, following persistent heavy rain, we have developed Groundwater Infiltration System Management Plans (GISMPs). 

Investments in London

Our £1.8 billion investment between 2025 and 2030 to improve river health across London.
