Super sewer is cleaning up the Thames, says report

The health of the River Thames in London improved significantly in the first year of the new "super sewer", according to Thames Water.

A report by the company found an 86% reduction in raw sewage entering the river in 2025 compared with the previous average, while the sewer also prevented about 84 tonnes of litter, such as wet wipes and sanitary products, from reaching the waterway.

The sewer, called the Thames Tideway Tunnel, was built to increase capacity, allowing more rainwater and waste to be stored and reducing overflows into the tidal stretch of the Thames.

However, the report warned that pollution and climate change remained "big challenges" and said continued action was needed.

Suspected arson shuts Negev sewage plant, sending raw wastewater into streams

Some 30,000 cubic meters a day expected to flow through waterways for weeks; plant officials reportedly link attack to refusal to pay protection money, citing past incidents

A suspected arson attack shut down a major sewage treatment plant near Beersheba on Friday, sending an expected 30,000 cubic meters of untreated wastewater a day into streams across the Negev and prompting authorities to warn residents to stay away from impacted channels.

The fire broke out overnight in the electrical room of the Shoket Wastewater Treatment Plant near the southern town of Meitar, severely damaging the facility and forcing it offline. The Environmental Protection Ministry said repairs could take several weeks.

Raw sewage was consequently flowing into the Hebron, Beersheba and Besor streams, creating potential health, environmental and odor hazards for adjacent communities.

The ministry advised residents to stay away from the affected streams and avoid contact with the water, while local authorities in Al-Kasom, Omer, Bnei Shimon, Beersheba and Eshkol were instructed to warn residents of possible foul odors. Authorities were also told to step up mosquito monitoring and carry out pest control if necessary.

Police opened an investigation after evidence at the scene raised suspicions that the fire had been deliberately set. According to the Ynet news site, a fire investigator determined that arson was the likely cause, with diesel fuel and tires having been found inside the electrical room.
