South West Water says a medium-sized turkey produces up to three-quarters of a pint of fat.
A 50m build up of hardened fat, oil and wet wipes - known as a fatberg - was found in a Plymouth sewer in December 2020
South West Water said a medium-sized turkey produced up to 0.75 pints of fat which could block pipes. South West Water said it dealt with about 8,500 blocked sewers each year and it hoped to remind customers "this Christmas to help avoid a foul festive season and fight off fatbergs".Fatbergs can consist of build-ups of hardened fat and oil after they are put down pipes and then cool, potentially blocking them.
