Around once a week the river Thames becomes a toilet. Thousands of tons of raw sewage are flushed into the water because the old Victorian sewers can’t cope. Designed in the 1860s by engineer Joseph Bazalgette these sewers saved countless lives by helping to stop the spread of ?cholera. Eight million people live in London today. So, now they’ve begun building a new super-sewer.?Huge tunnelling machines will be lowered down to bore out a 16-mile sewer under the Thames. Instead of sewage going to in to the river - it’ll go along the new tunnel.
