Fatberg

A fatberg is a congealed lump of fat, sanitary items, wet wipes, and similar items found in sewer systems, which do not break down like toilet paper. Such deposits are officially referred to by this term by authorities at Thames Water in London, UK. While fatbergs are problematic clogs in city sewer systems, they have also been identified as a source of fuel, specifically biogas. This was also discussed on the first episode of the television show Kevin McCloud's Man Made Home on 23 September 2012, where McCloud is seen making biodiesel for a lamp out of London city sewer fatbergs.
