A host of Halloween horrors have been discovered on the Severn Trent network that could have caused issues for customers that were more trick than treat!
In a truly terrifying edition of the weirdest things that have been found in the water company’s network there are many items that are a total scream.
Apples - not sure why there was apples found contributing to a blockage, but you would definitely not want to use them at a Halloween party. Fake skull and a dolls head - looking like something that was straight out Sid’s room in Toy Story, plastic skulls and dolls heads are just some of the many things that are repeatedly found.
“Only the three P’s - pee, poo and toilet paper – should be flushed down the toilet and fats, oils and greases should never be poured down the sink as they can cause huge issues for our network and in turn, our customers. One of the biggest issues that cause blockages is wet wipes, even those that say ‘flushable’ or ‘biodegradable’ on the packaging don’t break down like toilet paper, as well as kitchen roll, cotton buds, nappies and sanitary products.
