Thames Water Authority
The Thames Water Authority was one of the regional water authorities created in Great Britain in 1975 to consolidate all water management tasks of a region into one authority.
In this authority the Metropolitan Water Board , the Thames Conservancy , the Lee Conservancy Catchment Board and the parts of the Essex River Authority and the Kent River Authority , which had administered the north and south sides of the Thames estuary , were combined.
In 1989 the Thames Water Authority was partially privatized. The water supply and disposal was transferred to the newly founded Thames Water , while all supervisory tasks were transferred to the National Rivers Authority .
