London Waterkeeper is pushing Thames Water to use the best options to stop sewage pollution

The company plans to spend £1.8bn to cut spills to rivers from 26 sewer overflows in London.

Cities around the world are creating vegetated areas to stop rain from making sewers discharge.

They have told us that they are “considering” green infrastructure as the main solution for 22 of them.

But we need them to COMMIT to using it.

Help us hold Thames Water to account today:

The Issues

At London Waterkeeper we explore various issues causing pollution in London’s waterways. See the issues we are focussed on right now:

  • Thames Water’s plans are a mess. To cut spills to rivers they need to stop rain getting into sewers, but none of their solutions will do this. MORE…

  • The Environment Agency is failing to use permits to stop pollution being washed into rivers from industrial estates. It is breaking its legal duty to protect the environment.
    MORE…

  • Thousands of homes have illegally connected their sinks, washing machines and toilets to London’s rivers. The authorities have never given this problem the priority it needs. MORE…
