I've tagged the "Sewer works" section for tone, as phrasing like "The basic premise of this expensive project was wrong, as so often happens, but the end result was much better than expected, which is a rare occurrence." and similar feels a bit chatty for an encyclopaedia article.

In the 1870s, J.W Bazalgette lived at Spring Gardens, Westminster, and kept monthly rainfall records. These are now (Apr 2020) being digitized and studied by the Rainfall Rescue project. https://panoptes-uploads.zooniverse.org/production/subject_location/a914f098-1b5e-4b13-8055-0681a5eafc71.jpeg 78.144.95.84 ( talk) 22:12, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
This is the source of a possible citogenesis, plus the sources that were added today. Reported by Ganesha811 on the Teahouse.
Bazalgette's foresight may be seen in the diameter of the sewers. When planning the network he took the densest population, gave every person the most generous allowance of sewage production and came up with a diameter of pipe needed. He then said 'Well, we're only going to do this once and there's always the unforeseen'<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gapper|first=John|date=3 October 2020|title=John Gapper’s fantasy dinner: Joseph Bazalgette and Rosalind Franklin|url=https://www.ft.com/content/8303b31e-64bc-4036-9c10-7c6dd4f3c1e6|url-status=live|website=FT Magazine|publisher=Financial Times}}</ref> and doubled the diameter to be used. His foresight allowed for the unforeseen increase in population density with the introduction of the tower block; with the original, smaller pipe diameter the sewer would have overflowed in the 1960s, rather than coping until the present day as it has.

I'm commenting here because I'm not familiar with the subject matter. The 'Early Life' first paragraph appears to say that Bazalgette's mother was the grandson ... which seems unlikely. The sentence probably needs rearranging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2403:B4C0:F100:600:1A60:24FF:FE9D:D8F4 ( talk) 14:43, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
