Gross and problematic: Record-sized fatberg found in Perth, Australia last week. 😢🤢😡

You can help prevent fatbergs. Only flush human waste and toilet paper. No wipes, hygiene products, trash or FOGs (fat, oils & grease) should go down drains. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...
'Putrid' 30 tonne fatberg pulled from Perth's sewers
A 30-tonne congealed mass of items that should not be flushed, including wet wipes, sanitary products, oils and grease was removed by an excavator over two days.

Not quite moonlight on a lake, but site lighting on a relatively calm selector basin on a quiet morning. Beautiful infrastructure, waiting for the storm.

A giant fatberg and the threat of venue toilet overflows caused Bryan Adams to cancel his Sunday concert. Seems his song "Everything I do, I do it for you" couldn't be any more true. #OnlyFlushPeePooTP

Aging infrastructure. UGH.

Mechanics do preventative maintenance on the large drive for Final Clarifier 19 to help avoid system failure. We estimate that these drives date back to the 1950s or 1960s and show significant wear in the broken ball bearings and damage to the gear.
