China Panda, a Chinese takeaway in Fulham, London, has been fined over £13,000 for repeatedly dumping fats, oils, and grease into the sewer system for several years. Thames Water, the responsible water company, ordered the establishment to install a grease trap in 2018 to manage waste properly. Blockages from the unmaintained trap led Thames Water to prosecute after years of warnings. They address 75,000 blockages annually, costing about £18 million, emphasizing the importance of proper waste disposal and its environmental impact.
Sewer abuse is part of the everyday challenge we face to keep the sewers flowing to remove and treat customers' wastewater.
Thames Water had told China Panda to install a grease management trap to stop unwanted items from getting in its drainage system.
