As part of our on-going research work for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, JLGC staff (including from Tokyo Metropolitan Government) visited Thames Water’s non-potable water recycling plant at Old Ford, East London last week. As well as inspecting the facility, set up as part of the Olympic Delivery Authority’s ‘Sustainable Water Strategy’ (which had a target to reduce potable water use by 40% but managed 58%), staff were able to tour Thames Water’s critical infrastructure in and around the Olympic Park.
We are grateful to all the Thames Water staff involved for their considerable time and expertise.
