Controlling mosquitoes at Mogden (1)
We operate a strict all year-round mosquito survey and control programme
Surveys are carried out on a weekly basis by external experts in mosquito identification
The number of sites surveyed vary with mosquito breeding patterns
Winter – up to 60 sites
Summer - up to 250 sites

Controlling Mosquitoes at Mogden (2)We use a number of different methods to control mosquitoes
Physical - Removing stagnant water breeding sites, for example unblocking drains.
Biological - Using natural methods of control such as bacterial spraying of larvae
Mechanical - Using ultraviolet light traps that ‘zap’ insects with a high voltage electric shock
Chemicals - Using pesticides to kill adult mosquitoes
Regular control measures are implemented less than 2 days after the surveys are carried out

Beating Biting Bugs campaign
In May we will be distributing our Beating Biting Bugs campaign leaflet to local residents around the works.
We are working closely with LB Hounslow and LB Richmond and plan to have an article in their resident publications later this summer.
Thames Water
The Odour Improvement Project and its independent review
Thames Water
BackgroundAt our last price review in 2004, we included investment to reduce odour at
Mogden in our business plan. This was submitted to our regulator, Ofwat.
In their price determination in 2005 Ofwat allowed us to increase bills to customers in order to fund Mogden odour improvements. This was based on a 66% reduction of odour (measured against the 2003 odour survey).
The main scope of work was to cover the below key parts of the treatment process highlighted by an independent review, including:
Inlet Works (East and West side of Mogden)
Primary Settlement Tanks (East Side)
Two Storm Tanks (East Side)
We also installed 2 sets of equipment to extract and treat the odorous air, known as odour control units.
All of the above areas of odour control were designed to robustly comply with the requirements of the odour abatement notice.
Thames Water
Some examples of odour control
Thames Water
The result
In September 2008, OdourNet carried out an odour survey to see if we have met the required reduction of odour.
The calculated reduction in site odour emissions determined by direct comparison showed the following:
90% reduction compared to the 2003 dataset
82% reduction compared to the 2005 dataset
Taking into account for variations in emissions from different plant across the works, the calculated ‘worst case’ shows the following :
72.9% reduction compared to the 2003 dataset
66.2% compared to the 2005 dataset

Tidal Thames Quality Improvement Project
Thames Water
Background
Thames Water is investing in improving the water quality of the Tidal River Thames; for the ecology that thrives there, and everyone who uses and enjoys it.
The proposed site improvements will enable Mogden STW to cope better with increased flows caused by heavy periods of rain, or ‘storm conditions’.
This will mean a significant reduction in the need to discharge any untreated wastewater into the River Thames.
The improvements will also mean less use of the existing storm tanks.
The new works will be odour neutral
Thames Water
Latest
In March 2009, Hounslow Council approved the planning application for the proposed improvements to Mogden STW subject to the completion of a legal agreement and subject to a decision by the Mayor of London and referral to the Government Office for London.
We are encouraged by Hounslow planning committee’s recognition of the need to improve the quality of the Tidal Thames and their positive response to our proposed improvement works.
We will continue to work closely with the Council to finalise the legal agreement and meet the planning conditions.
