Thames Let Record 50% More Raw Sewage Flow Into Rivers Last Year
The Guardian
|March 18, 2025
A record 50% more raw sewage was discharged into rivers in England by Thames Water last year compared with the previous 12 months, data seen by the Guardian reveals.
Thames, which is teetering on the verge of collapse with debts of £19bn, was responsible for almost 300,000 hours of raw sewage pouring into waterways in 2024 from its ageing sewage works, according to the data. This compares with 196,414 hours of raw effluent dumped in 2023.
The data, obtained by the analyst Peter Hammond through an environmental information request to the company, was revealed as Thames Water won approval from the court of appeal for a £3bn emergency debt bailout at an interest rate of 9.75%, to avoid collapse.
