Guess they Love Bacon in Bedford…
Interesting story came across my Google machine yesterday out of Canada (you may know them as America’s hat)…from CBC News:
Halifax Water is warning residents to be careful about what they pour down the kitchen sink after an accumulation of bacon fat clogged sewage pipes in the Ridgeview Drive subdivision in Bedford.
Some basements were damaged when raw sewage built up during a two-week break in February and spewed into homes…
Halifax Water general manager Carl Yates said crews sent cameras down manholes, and discovered the problem was created by bacon fat. The cameras sent back images of thick, white congealed fat, oil and grease.
“Most people think, ‘If I just pour a little bit down, what’s the big deal?’ But, you know, if there’s a couple hundred thousand people doing the same thing throughout the city, I mean it’s going somewhere,” Yates said Friday.
“It doesn’t just go away, it congeals and it clogs the pipes.”
That is a LOT of bacon grease. I mean seriously…
That’s why I bought THIS two years ago! Best kitchen utility ever!
