LONDON'S SUPER SEWER: A last visit to the tunnels

With shafts being capped off across the #SuperSewer project, CEO Andy Mitchell paid a visit to Chambers Wharf in Bermondsey for what could be the last time he sees the vast tunnel undergound before the system is activated.

All you guys deserve to feel immensely proud of the amazing engineering in this huge construction project that you have very nearly completed. London, its people and wildlife habitats in and around London will benefit from your excellent work for centuries to come. Bravo!

A piece of all of us will be in your tunnels soon! Seriously though, thank you all so much for this project.

I have a terrible feeling that I would be happy to have dispelled; it is "Did anyone ask the question; why do we need waterborne waste disposal? There is a burgeoning conservation voice that simply asks 'why not go to composting toilets'?
Should this pollution problem (Thames contam) not have initiated thinking of a better way of managing the problem, other than by vast amounts of potable water being used to flush toilets?
