Thames Water urges locals to fight fatburgs this Christmas

THAMES Water is urging customers to help fight the fatberg over the Christmas period by safely disposing of fats, oils and grease. With millions of people set to feast on the traditional turkey dinner on December 25, the country s largest water company has highlighted the importance of letting cooking fat cool before getting rid of it in the bin, rather than pouring it down the sink where it can congeal and form sewer-blocking fatbergs. These underground behemoths are created when grease and oil combines with “unflushable” items like wet wipes, leading to huge, solid masses which are difficult to clear and can cause raw sewage to build up and flood homes, businesses and the environment.
