Its not just chip shops. The problem is that most of us, unknowingly do put
some fat down the drain, but there are other factors, nappies, wet wipes,
even surplus concrete gets down to the sewers, making for a smelly toxic
solid mass which builds up in places where flow is only intermittently high.
A friend of mine went on a tour of the Brighton Sewers a few years ago, and
was amazed by the stuff that gets down drains.

I watched an excellent programme about the work of the Water Board in
clearing drains and sewers - a huge fatburg was a big task.

It got me wondering - could they install a "fat separator" and then
increase the Water Charges to the busines that casues the problem?

I rather got the impression that they were just going to accept they would
have to come back and clean it again. No sign that they were addressing
the
cause. Does anyone know different?
