A WATER treatment company isappealing for customers to not putunsavoury liquids down the drain.

The team at Severn Trent’s UttoxeterSewage Treatment Works deals with thesort of things that most people don’t wantto think about.

But, recently, as well as the usual wastecoming into the works, they have had todeal with the triple threat of fats, oils and

greases, also known as 'FOG'.The company has stated that the

congealed mess is “not only horrible todeal with, it can also clog up the worksand, before it even gets there, it canblock sewers, possibly leading to thedreaded fatberg.”

Mark Sczesniok, waste water managerin Staffordshire for Severn Trent, said:“It’s been a real problem for us in recent

weeks as we have seen a massive increasein FOG coming into the works whichcauses us all sorts of problems.

“We’ve been out and about with theFOG fighters at ECAS talking to localbusinesses who’ve been fantastic infitting industrial scale fat traps into theirsystems which has really helped.

“But we would urge everyone to thinkabout what they are chucking down the

kitchen sink and flushing down the toiletbecause it can cause problems not onlyfor us but also for you and yourneighbours.

“Pouring your cooking fat down thesink might seem like the easy thing to dobut, once in the sewers, it congeals intosolid lumps which can then combine with

THE CHAIRMAN of anannual carnival hasresponded to concernsabout access to the venueduring the three-day event.The Cheadle Carnival

Committee is grantedpermission to use the Tean RoadRecreation Ground by CheadleTown Council to host the eventwhich traditionally lasts from aFriday evening through toSunday and takes place in July.

However, during a heateddebate, at a town councilmeeting on Monday, September2, concerns were raised aboutcharging visitors to access thepark, which is classed as a publicspace, during the communityfestival.In the meeting, some

councillors were disgruntledabout residents not beingallowed onto the recreationground without paying an

admission fee despite the landbeing a public space across theweekend the event is held on,namely with references made tothe skate park, swings and tenniscourts.Objections to these

arguments were raised, withseveral councillors stating thatthe council grants permission tothe carnival committee to use thewhole of the park as part of theevent, including the

aforementioned assets.Chairman of Cheadle

Carnival Committee Tim Clifferesponded to these concernssurrounding entry costs, tellingthe Times and Echo: “The basicfact of the matter is that it costswithin the region of £20,000 toput it on so if we didn’t chargethere would be no carnival.“You can’t go anywhere

without paying for things thesedays and we offer a reasonable

price of entry.“We need to charge to cover

the costs.”Tim confirmed that it is his

belief that when the CarnivalCommittee is grantedpermission to use the recreationground, this includes all aspectsof the public space, including thesaid tennis courts, skate parkand swings.
