Gates Open On Thames Tideway Tunnel Super Sewer
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub heading.
The first four sites along London’s new “super sewer” – officially known as the Thames Tideway Tunnel – have been brought into operation.
These are the first two paragraphs.
The valves, which operate like giant gates, are being used at four of the 21 locations that make up the system.
The rest are due to come online in the coming months, with the sewer operating at full capacity by 2025.
Note.
- The BBC article contains a video.
- The Thames Tideway has a web site.
Finally, more of London’s sewage is on its way to Beckton.
This map shows there’s even a lighthouse on the River Thames.

Plenty of rain today to give it a test!
