Thames Water proposes to deal with future droughts by ‘abstracting’ 150 million litres of water a day straight out of the Thames and replacing it with ‘treated effluent’. The Environment Agency unsurprisingly told Thames Water that it “needs to think again” and how start about fixing the 630 million litres of water it leaks a day before it starts taking precious water out of the Thames.
The leaks have been a national scandal for as long as I can remember. I once reported a bad leak close to Regent’s Park, and six weeks later that water was still running down Albany Street.
Cheers, Pete.

Funny when the Victorians constructed the infrastructure it worked OK. You’d have thought it should have lasted 200 years without maintenance.
