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:
“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
“Still be kind,
And eke out our performance with your mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
