Performance
Every day, Thames Water supplies 2.6 gigalitres (2.6×109 litres) of potable tap water from 100 water treatment works via 288 clean water pumping stations through 32,000 km (20,000 mi) of managed water mains to 8.7 million customers across London and the Thames Valley. It maintains 30 raw water reservoirs and 235 underground service reservoirs.
It likewise removes and treats 4 gigalitres (4.0×109 litres) of wastewater from 13.8 million customers using 2530 sewage pumping stations through 107,100 km (66,500 mi) of managed sewerage mains to 350 sewage treatment works across an area of South England. It recovers approximately 20 MW of renewable electricity (or, say, 187 GWh per annum) from the sewage.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“No performance is worth loss of geniality. ‘Tis a cruel price we pay for certain fancy goods called fine arts and philosophy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
