I don't dump cooking grease down the drain, I put it in a jar that I later throw away. But for good measure, at least a few times/month I release a sinkful of soapy water into the drain. I've read that helps keep the system clear. I also don't use the dispose-all.
Article says the problem, which is a regular thing in London sewers, though not to the monster extent of the current one, is cause by oil and grease being sent down kitchen sinks. If that's all it takes to cause one of these congealed globs, why doesn't this happen in sewer lines the world over?
