An early design for this project was created by Frank Forster, but the committee responsible for approving it was divided and he died before it could be built. The construction of this project was facilitated by the Ordnance Survey and by the consolidation of multiple authorities into a single board under the Metropolitan Management Act. This project was strongly advocated by Edwin Chadwick, but he came into conflict with the man who eventually designed it over the use of materials; that man designed a system of intercepts that relied on four large pumps and was divided into the Northern, Southern, and Western districts, the latter of which covered low-lying Fulham and Hammersmith. The construction of this project was approved partly as a consequence of the Great Stink of 1858, and it was overseen by the man credited with its design, the chief engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Joseph Bazalgette.
