Friday, 6 May, 2022 - 10:41Fatbergs, rag monsters, sludge, slime, oil, grease, grime, guts, blood and embalming fluid are all ending up in Napier’s wastewater system. From the wastewater network the gunk heads to the wastewater treatment plant where the biological trickling filter does its best to process the mess. "Food outlets, car yards, industrial areas where there’s tanneries, meat works, paint yards, there’s a lot they can do to clean up their act," explains Stewart. All 120 places on the Wastewater Treatment Plant tours were fully booked within four days of being announced. Tours are part of wider consultation on the Trade Waste and Wastewater Bylaw that closes on 25 May.
