The London sewer was blocked by a fat plug weighing 100 tons.

In east London, workers found a fat plug weighing 100 tons in sewer pipes. This was announced on December 22 by the LBC television channel.

"The newly discovered fat iceberg is a solid mass of congealed fats, oils, lubricants, and indelible waste, estimated to extend about 100 m and weigh about 100 tons," the material says.

It is noted that this plug mainly consisted of oil and baby wet wipes. According to the TV channel, she is the "granddaughter" of the infamous 2017 fat iceberg in Whitechapel, which was 250 m long and weighed 130 tons.

Behind the brooms: there are not enough janitors, electricians and engineers in the housing and communal services sector

They do not want to enter the industry because of low salaries, hard work and the lack of prestige of the profession.

Earlier, on December 18, Evgenia Yunisova, a housing and communal services expert and co-chairman of the NGO "Managing House", told what to do if the sewer system in an apartment building is clogged. She stressed that at the first sign of a serious blockage — if the water does not leave the riser or rises in plumbing fixtures — you should immediately contact the official services. According to her, the contacts of such services are usually located in the entrances on information stands, and such emergencies should be eliminated without delay.
