a growing plumbing problem - water jet flosser

Experts warned that the restaurant's blatant pouring of used oil and fat into the sewer would cause water pipes to burst, the flash floods in Kuala Lumpur, even thousands of kilometers of aging water pipes are threatened by new enemies from the ground. -
Fat, oil and grease, or what the authorities call fog.
The city restaurant owner poured the remaining curry and fried chicken and fish oil into the sewer, which led to a billion-dollar tax payer cleaning up and remediation.
Secretariat and coordinator.
Ghani is also the director of the office (IWK)
Kuala Lumpur and bu chengguan road network, the indifference of the restaurant operators in the installation and maintenance of grease traps and the continuous pouring of the remaining fog into sinks and sewers not only emphasizes the fragile pipes, it also caused river pollution.
Indifference is the enemy "if they don't stop this lazy attitude, it will only get worse, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)
"In the future, it will face even greater problems," Ghani said . ".
"All the oil and grease will stick to the pipe, mixed with materials such as polystyrene and plastic waste, which will eventually harden and block the flow of water.
"In the long run, the blockage will lead to a massive return, such as what happened last Saturday at Jalan Scott in Brickfield," he said . ".
"Reflow is just one of the problems.
The increased pressure oil and grease from our aging mesh system can cause the pipe to break, leak and the manhole to sink.
"If there is a flood other than that, it will be a catastrophe," he commented . ".
"All of these problems need money and time to be solved and those who cause this confusion have to take responsibility," he said . ".
Alam Flora officials who cleared the sewers in Kuala Lumpur agreed with Ghani.
"It's a nightmare," said a worker who cleared Jalan Scott's overflow.
"I'm not exaggerating here," said the worker, "We took out more than 20 bags of things full of fog and more to clean up . ".
On Saturday, the nightmare of Scott Road, the back lane around Jalan Scott, the location of about 10 restaurants, was surrounded by overflowing waste water due to clogged sewers.
The wastewater spills from the sewer, bringing oil, grease and dead rodents to the surface of the water.
In the Sree Veera Hanuman temple in Jalan Scott, the frustrated devotees could not bear the stench of rotten food spilled from the sewer, pleading with the temple authorities to resolve the issue.
The eight workers who came out of the temple cleaned up the mess created by the restaurant operators.
"We started working from six o'clock P. M. and worked until nine o'clock P. M. when we realized we couldn't stop the return," said one worker who wanted to be identified . ".
"We are exhausted, garbage and oil are constantly coming out (of the drains)
We gave up soon after.
He said: "We just volunteered because the stench of rotten food from the sewers became very annoying to devotees . " He added that although restaurant operators knew they had caused confusion, they just looked and did not do any help.
According to a temple staff member, in addition to the stench, the number of mice has tripled over the past year due to the remaining food being thrown into the sewer.
"The money we spend on pest control every month is about RM380.
There have been four times a year in the past, but since there are too many rats, we are doing this every month now, "he said.
A devotee who claimed to be Solai Amma said she slipped on the road a few weeks ago because of the grease on the road.
"Thankfully, I have not suffered more serious injuries than bruises," 60-year-

Dr. Hayati Abdullah, director of the Ministry of Health and Environment, said, "they no longer have a second chance (
Restaurant operators).
"We have the full support of the Federal Minister of territory and the mayor, who (operators)
There can be no claim to know nothing about the rules and regulations, "she said.
According to Hayati, restaurants in the capital have been informed and updated since 2005 when housing and local government departments forced restaurants to install oil barriers.
"Some people did it, but many did not.
Some restaurant operators showed regular cleaning of grease traps for a period of time, but this did not last long.
"Some restaurants have installed oil barriers for display as their workers continue to clean the waste and dump it into the sewer," she added . ".
Hayati stated that on 2013, DBKL strengthened the award by including a clause in their articles of association
The law stipulates that restaurants that do not operate the grease trap will not receive an extended business license.
This means that businesses that do not have a functional grease trap are considered illegal.
"The operators also made some efforts at the beginning, but soon after their license was renewed, they usually stopped cleaning and maintaining the grease trap," she said . ".
DBKL no longer has a reason to further force restaurant owners, and now charges an additional fee of Rs 500 for the maintenance of the grease trap associated with their business license.
Prior to this, the restaurant owner paid the house permit to RM400 and the RM200 to RM600 (
Depending on size)
Signature plate.
This oil trap fee is not applicable to the hotel, complex and food court.
Hayati said that restaurants whose licenses are about to expire will only be given a licence extension if the grease trap is working properly.
"The contractor will carry out maintenance work three times a month and DBKL will charge the restaurant for the work;
These visits will be valued by operators.
Our law enforcement officers will also monitor them.
They will visit the house again a few weeks before the license expires, check the condition of grease traps and drains around the house, and determine if they are allowed to continue to operate, she added.
Hayati said the restaurant complained about RM1, 500 was too expensive and charged too much, only working yuan a month.
"If you break it down further, it's just 4 yuan RMB. 10 a day!
These days are cheaper than a plate of may Goren.
"Some restaurant operators earn thousands of ringgit profits every year, so the monthly rm125. it is trivial for them," she said . ".
Every time a sewer is blocked, taxpayers are forced to pay, Ghani said.
"It can be sold for RM1, 000 dredging and blocking
Power Water jet from IWK.
"This requires a lot of cleaning in the case of Jalan Scott clogging up
It could last several days and cost thousands of ringgit jobs.
"The Brick Field is one of the areas that report a high incidence of burst pipes, sinkholes and return incidents caused by fog.
Alam flora and IWK workers who clean the manhole and sewer once a month in Kuala Lumpur said that the brick factory of the Indian mosque, Wuji Bintang, due to grease, kepong and Jalan Kelang Lama accounted for more than 50% of the return cases.
"Cleaning up grease is not actually part of our responsibility, but it is something we are forced to do on a regular basis, and a worker who did not want to be named said he was afraid of being opposed by food operators.
"Now that the law is in place, we hope it will be implemented next.
"This is all about law enforcement," the worker added . ".
