Will Beckton sewage works be able to cope with additional flows from the tunnels?
The tunnels are designed to store excess sewage linked to rainfall. Only after the sewage in the existing network has subsided will it be pumped out of the tunnels for treatment at Beckton. Additional capacity will be provided at Beckton to fully treat the flow from the tunnels, as well as enabling the plant to treat more sewage from the existing catchment and to improve treatment standards.
