ANOTHER BIG LIE FROM THE THAMES WATER INUTILITY

Thames Water claimed that the level of the Thames was too high to allow emergency discharge on the evening of July 12th.

 .....a lie according to the facts provided by this reader

"High tide on 12th of July (a not particularly high) was at 4:40 pm - it was continuously falling before and during the flooding incident. By 6:30 pm it was 1.63mt below this high"

On a 1930 Main Drainage map, there are two pumping stations - the one at Lots Road is shown as being slightly upstream from the Counters Creek Sewer draining West Kensington, and therefore seemingly not controlling it. 

The Western Pumping Station at Chelsea Bridge is the next downstream one, taking the Ranelagh Sewers which would seemingly drain Portobello Road."

  1. It is really important to get a fact based analysis of the situation. No good will come of "he says this" and "she says that".

    A proper inquiry needs to be set up and people examined under oath. Tidal heights are a matter of scientific record

    1. Another rip off of residents by big business and elected representatives (Campbell, Faulks, Rossi, Buchan) dissembling. These wretched politicians have the powers and PR resources to call Thames Water to order but instead they just stand around w*****g.
