Further work by water companies to tackle sewage pollution of the tidal Thames is to be fast-tracked in a new collaboration, convened by the Port of London Authority.
A Clean Thames Manifesto, launched in June, promises greater collaborative work with Thames Water and others to combat plastic wet wipes clogging up the river through London.
At the PLA’s request, Anglian Water, Southern Water and Thames Water have committed to work towards reductions in sewage and storm water discharges from overflow points and treatment works, affecting the river between Teddington and the North Sea, faster than previously planned.
