....
This blockage - built up over an estimated six months - was discovered after residents in nearby apartment buildings were unable to flush their toilets
Examination found that the mound of fat had reduced the 70-centimeter (28-inch) by 48-centimeter (19-inch) sewer to just 5 percent of its normal capacity. It damaged the sewers so badly that it will take six weeks to repair them.
