Severn Trent staff have pledged to go ‘Grease Fighting’ in new movie-inspired campaign to prevent damaging drain blockages – and ensure more flood-free ‘Summer Nights’.
Staff slipped into character to help share all important messages in a video evoking the spirit of the classic Rydell High musical, which famously starred Hollywood legend John Travolta as Danny and the late Olivia Newton-John as Sandy.
Teams at Severn Trent are ‘Hopelessly Devoted’ to getting the message across to customers, who have been told ‘You’re The One That We Want’ to support the campaign.
Slashing the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOG) dumped down sinks and toilets is a huge priority for Severn Trent, as they can potentially create damaging fatbergs - which can in turn lead to sewer blockages and flooding incidents.
Instead, householders are urged to let the FOG cool before scraping into a container, jar or tin and putting it safely in the bin, so they can protect their homes and avoid potentially costly drain blockage issues.
