Battersea homes to be protected from sewer flooding

11/11/2008

A scheme to alleviate flooding at several homes in the area of St John\'s Road, Battersea, is underway. The GBP3.2million scheme will help protect 36 properties, which have previously suffered from sewer flooding during heavy rainfall. Work includes expanding a number of existing sewer pipes to provide additional storage and constructing a new sewer system to divert foul water away from the area during heavy rainfall.

The scheme, which is due to be fully completed by April 2009, will be delivered in two distinct areas:

Eccles Road to the junction of Lavender Hill
Work to construct a new sewer will take place between October 2008 and April 2009. Parking suspensions will be place.
Comyn, Aliwal and Eckstein Roads
Work to replace existing sewer pipes with new, larger pipes, will take place between November 2008 and March 2009. Parking suspensions will be in place.

Thames Water aims in the long term to virtually eliminate flooding resulting from lack of capacity in the sewers. Thames Water hopes to move towards this aim with its largest ever investment programme. These proposals have been submitted as part of the company's Business Plan for 2010 to 2015 to its economic regulator, Ofwat. Thames Water is currently investing GBP320million on sewer flooding alleviation schemes to help protect 10,000 properties by the end of 2010.

Water Management in Eastern England

The eastern part of England also is partly reclaimed from the sea, centuries ago. The marshlands now are a valuable agricultural area. Of course, maintenance is needed to keep the water where it belongs and at the same time making it work. This video explains the 'how' of it by the Water Management Alliance, showing pumps, dedicated machines and ways of working with water.
