Thank you, you have greatly increased my knowledge. I lived in England for several years and only knew that 1 stone = 14 pounds. I didn’t know the hundredweight/ton part.

On the local San Antonio, TX news they showed one of those wet wipe cloggoramas that had caused a massive sewer overflow. It was forty feet long, and just a tangle of wet wipes..
It’s like they just keep growing into this twisty huge monstrosity.

Looks like the monthly harbor cleanup at the Ala Wai (Honolulu).

Fatberg, dead ahead! the lookout shouted. It was too late, the ship rammed the quivering mass and stuck like a bug.While passengers and crew were safely removed by rescuers, all attempts at freeing the trapped vessel were doomed to fail as the fatberg began to shift with the turning tide.

Just a thought but why dont they solder some sort of mesh to the openings of sewer grates? "Cause some union guy might have to do da maintenance work every day. 'Dis way, we can stick it to da City for da overtime." :)

It really wasn’t a problem until the wonderful innovation of the low flow toilet and water saving show heads. If the sewage keeps moving it doesn’t get the change to form up like that.

All while jiggling, making gloopy noises, and generally being blobbish.

It makes sense to conserve the water in California and Las Vegas? But in the east coast where water is plentiful?
To: SunTzuWu
Thank you for the explanation. It is amazing how the marketing claims that wipes are “flushable” can cause such havoc to the taxpayer. You don’t hear the greenies going after this.

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw where there’s a German Shepard flushed down a toilet and the plumber goes “ well there’s your problem, right there”....
