The case behind the requirement to unblock drains = Fatbergs.
A fatberg is a thick mass that can be found in your drains, formed by the combination of non-biodegradable solids such as wet wipes and cooking fat. It’s extremely important for everyone to reduce the risk of blocked drains and flooding by simply not flushing anything other than pee, paper and poo. Yorkshire Water advises that at least 40% of all blocked drains in Yorkshire are caused by people putting the wrong things down their toilets and sinks. Read more on Yorkshire Waters campaign here. If you don’t flush wipes, you’re less likely to need us to unblock drains.
