Homes in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, had to be evacuated this afternoon after a burst main pipe burst, shooting water 50ft in the air, soaking and flooding the town.
‘She was already a rescue at one [year old], so this is the second rescue of her life and she is 16 now.’
Workers from Severn Trent and emergency services had raced to the scene where, armed with sandbags, they have tried to contain the water.Severn Trent told local media the leak had been caused by the actions of a third party. A spokesperson said: ‘A third party has caused damage to one of our larger pipes as they were working on a building site in Beeston. Our teams are continuing to work in the area to minimise disruption.
‘Customer water supplies are currently not affected, and we’re working on the network to help keep supplies on during the repair, as well as bringing tankers to the area.’
