100-tonne fatberg' blockage removed from London sewer
"A colossal 100-tonne fatberg has been successfully cleared from a west London sewer, Thames Water has revealed. The utility firm confirmed a specialist team spent over a month removing the massive obstruction, located more than 10m below street level in Feltham. This solid mass was primarily composed of wet wipes, solidified by fat, oil, and grease. Its immense weight was equivalent to eight double-decker buses, the company stated."
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
The Independent covers topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while producing documentaries and investigations and relying on donations to fund on-the-ground reporting without paywalls. The outlet emphasizes the importance of parsing facts from messaging and sends journalists to speak to both sides of stories. Thames Water reported a 100-tonne fatberg was removed from a west London sewer more than 10m below street level in Feltham after a specialist team spent over a month blasting, chiselling and suctioning material from a 125m pipe stretch before transporting the waste to landfill.
