A 'fatberg' made of grease and wet wipes found in English sewer | Cngreasetrap.com
A "fatberg" measuring 210 feet and consisting of a combination of oil, fat, and wet wipes was found blocking a sewer in a seaside town in England.
Local utility company South West Water said it will take up to eight weeks to cut up the "fatberg" and remove it from the sewer in the southwestern town of Sidmouth, reports the BBC. They said it was the largest one they've ever seen, according to the report.
"Fatbergs" are large, congealed masses of fat, oil, wet wipes, condoms, diapers and other junk that sometimes form — and block — sewer systems when flushed down the toilet.
"Fatbergs" have caused sewer issues both in the U.S. and aboard. Two years ago, in Baltimore, a sewer overflow was blamed on a mass of oil, wet wipes and other garbage. In London, the utility Thames Water revealed in 2017 it had finally broken up a "fatberg" measuring 800 feet long and weighing 130 tons.
