	London continues to be flooded by sewage
		LONDONERS faced with many tons of sewage being dumped in their streets and parks whenever it rains too much are likely to get scant re-assurance from Watervoice today, which claims to be a "strong voice" representing water and sewage customers in the UK.
		It was caused by the heavy rainfall overflowing the sewerage system in extensive areas of London.
		The Victorian sewage system was finally installed when members of Parliament could no longer stand the smell as effluent flowed past their terrace on its way to pollute all points east and eventually pour into the North Sea and wash up on Belgian, Dutch and French beaches.

	The Crossness Pumping Station -Bazalgette's Solution
		It is for the Victoria Embankment on the north, and the Albert Embankment on the south, as well as for London’s efficient sewerage system, that we have to thank Joseph Bazalgette.
		Constructing the interceptory system was a stupendous undertaking, involving 318 million bricks,880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar, and the excavation of 3.5 million cubic yards of earth.
		Considering that the system was built during the wettest summer and the coldest winter recorded in the nineteenth century, it was an astounding achievement, even for Victorian civil engineers.

	River Thames and boaty things
		Two key events finally spelt the destruction of the Thames - the rapid increase in the use of the water closet (which dramatically increased the volume of water borne waste) and the the requirement in the Metropolitan Building Acts 1844 & 1847 that all new buildings be connected to the common sewers.
		The benefit of this system is that any polluting spillage on a road or hardstanding in a factory will be treated before it is discharged.
		When in the 1980's it was decided that the cost of improving London's sewerage system to eliminate the problem of these CSOs could not at that time be justified and that excessive disruption would arise, alternative solutions had to be found.

	out of the past The Great Stink of London in 1858
		As these had been earlier designed to collect rainwater only, and to discharge into the rivers and ditches connected to the Thames River, the improved domestic arrangements unaccompanied by improvements in the sewerage system brought London to the verge of disaster, a giant step forward for personal hygiene and two steps backward for public sanitation.
		Much of London's drinking water was being extracted from the Thames, in many cases downstream from the sewage discharge points.
		The system has been extended and updated as London has expanded and Bazalgette's huge steam pumps have been replaced by modern electrically powered systems at Beckton and Crossness, where Bazalgette's magnificent buildings are being restored by the Crossness Engines Trust.
