Footage shows the scale of a burst water pipe which has been causing water to gush on to a village road. Residents contacted Nottinghamshire Live to say the leak in Station Road, Keyworth, had been an issue for several days.
And on Friday morning (October 7), one eyewitness said: "It was really bad, apparently it's been like it for several days." The leak has been coned off with temporary fencing put up around it.
Severn Trent had said the burst was repaired on Thursday evening (October 6). They added the cones and fencing on the road to control traffic would remain in place with arrangements made to "infill the hole and reinstate the road surface".
