Fatbergs, caused by an entangled mess of wet wipes 'mortared together' by fats, oils and grease to form rock-hard material, are creating a 'real problem with blockages in the pipes', according to Sydney Water's Peter Hadfield. At a single Sydney Water site at Malabar, six dry tonnes of wipes are collected every day.
Is that an issue caused by millennials who aren’t shagging anymore?
Wetwipes block treatment pipes, packaged label say flushable, Court case determines labels are ok. Change two things, the law and consumer behaviour. Common sense should also prevail, put them in the bin.
Ban them
That's not grease.
Should see what IBS can do
NZBirder We have a sewage tank with grinder pre exit to main sewers,if you block it,alarm goes and expensive call out ensues.
HowardStern JUST FYI.
Ive started to flush one of these down the bog once a week:
Ghee butter and lamb fats are as bad too, lived next door to these foreigers and our drains were blocked regularly! My kids were teenagers so no wipes came from my house! Need to educate the immigrants, and uneducated!
If only something like this existed…
Just use a wet flannel and then wash it!!
Duh!
