A 100-ton fatberg in London sewer causes major blockages, prompting warnings to stop pouring fats down drains.
A 100-tonne fatberg, formed from congealed fats, oils, grease, and non-biodegradable waste, has been discovered in a London sewer, prompting warnings from Thames Water about improper disposal habits.
The blockage, stretching 328 feet, is part of a recurring issue causing over 20,000 annual sewer blockages, with costs reaching £2.1 million during the winter months.
Authorities urge the public to avoid pouring fats or creamy sauces down drains and to only flush the three Ps—pee, poo, and toilet paper—while scraping food scraps and using sink strainers to prevent further damage to aging infrastructure and environmental risks.
