There was one in London recently that weighed in at a record 130 tonnes, which is the equivalent of about 19 African elephants. The previous record for a fatberg was 15 tonnes, which was the size of a bus; again found in a London sewer. We can map those kinds of hot spots along with the bore or diameter and the condition of the sewage pipes to work out the high-risk areas. Are there things we can do every day to reduce the risk of fatbergs in our area? Finally, when you are not seeking to avert fatbergs, how do you like to take a break?
