Likely never. The solution is large solids grinders designed for them stationed along the network, with the cost baked into sewage rates. Annoying, but humans gonna human, so engineer around the human.
Or making bidets or japanase toilets mandatory. This seems to be a 'first world problem', which also has practically banned coal ovens from being allowed, for new buildings, at least. So that could work by changing policy, in the places where it is a problem.
“trucked away for disposal at a landfill site as toxic waste.”
Surely there are better ways of disposing of this, surely high temperature incineration.
Mind you 30 million years in the future geology will have kneaded landfill sites into rocks, will a fatberg end up being a small pocket of oil?
Put a little vanilla scent in it, buy some molds and sell it as mood candles. Profit!
At what point will wet wipes be banned?
Likely never. The solution is large solids grinders designed for them stationed along the network, with the cost baked into sewage rates. Annoying, but humans gonna human, so engineer around the human.

Yes, but has anyone asked the fatberg how it feels about all this?
