About Fatberg in brief
A fatberg is a rock-like mass of waste matter in a sewer system. It is formed by the combination of flushed non-biodegradable solids, such as wet wipes, and congealed grease or cooking fat. Fatbergs occur in sewer systems around the globe, in cities and smaller towns. Giant fatbergs have blocked sewers in London, New York, Denver, Valencia, and Melbourne. Most of the fatberg discovered in Whitechapel in London in 2017, weighing 130 tonnes and stretching more than 250 metres, was converted into biodiesel.
The term is used by authorities at Thames Water and South West Water, both in southern England. The 2020 Everything Everything single has the narrator of the song praying to a sentient fatberg to destroy the world above the sewer it dwells in.
