BBC News OnlineA "monster" fatberg found blocking a sewer in Sidmouth is being successfully excavated, water company bosses say.
The solid block is made up of fat, wet wipes and grease.
South West Water (SWW) said the fatberg, measuring 210ft (64m) long, was the biggest it had found and it would take about eight weeks to remove.
A spokeswoman for South West Water's parent company, Pennon Group Plc, said excavation has been "going well" and three tanker loads containing 3,000 gallons of excavated fat have now been removed.
The first samples have gone to the University of Exeter for analysis.

Read More'More tin and tungsten' in Cornwallpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2019
Neil Gallacher, Business & Industry Correspondent
BBC SpotlightA mining firm that has been test drilling near Callington says there may be three times as much tin and tungsten in the ground locally as it thought in 2018.
The results at Redmoor are the early fruits of several millions of pounds worth of international investment in east Cornwall.
It is early days but they support the Anglo-Australian firm Cornwall Resources’ claim that this could one day be a world-class mine.
The big challenge is that this would have to be an underground mine, making it much more expensive than an open pit.
The overall tonnage in the ground looks to be only one-third of what’s on offer at the nearby Hemerdon mine. Hemerdon remains shut, although investors have not given up trying to reopen it.
Metals prices are high, but UK mining ventures have been struggling to get investment recently.
Quote MessageThe increased resource estimate should help to address, at least in part, earlier concerns that Redmoor is of insufficient scale to support a mine development… the new resource is an important step towards the company’s goal of restarting mining at Redmoor”.
John Meyer, Mining analyst, SP Angel
