FATBERG! 15-Ton 'Lump Of Lard' Removed From London Sewer - GoFuckYourself.com

marcop · 08-06-2013, 08:47 AM

A " 'bus-sized lump' of food fat mixed with wet wipes" has been removed from a southwest London sewer, the BBC says.

The 15-ton behemoth was the largest "congealed lump of lard" ever found in the Thames Water sewage system, supervisor Gordon Hailwood says in a statement. Nearby residents were reporting that their toilets wouldn't flush because the system was so clogged. It took three weeks to hack the monster into pieces and haul them away in "heavy duty lorries," Hailwood also said.

"The sewer was almost completely clogged with over 15 tons of fat," Hailwood says. "If we hadn't discovered it in time, raw sewage could have started spurting out of manholes across the whole of Kingston.

"It was so big it damaged the sewer and repairs will take up to six weeks. "Homes and businesses need to change their ways, when it comes to fat and wipes, please remember: 'Bin it ? don't block it.' "

Here's some video of the fatberg:

My brother is a plumber and he says that on a nearly daily basis he encounters blockages that are a result of wet wipes.
