Exploratory boreholes were being sunk for a Thames Water project in 2009. The notices did not give an indication of the nature of the project, though it would more likely be for drainage or sewerage (which tends to be deeper) than water mains (which tend to be fairly shallow). Later note (2011): I now realise this was almost certainly to do with the Thames Tideway sewer tunnel project.
