An Edinburgh man has told how his bathroom was flooded with sewage after telecoms engineers mistakenly cut a pipe outside his house. John Morgan, 51, said his bathroom floor was covered in the rancid wastewater and was forced to clean up the mess after it poured out of his shower plughole.
Around three months ago John noticed part of his street outside his home in Craiglockhart, Edinburgh, had been dug up. An engineer from CityFibre later told him fibre optic cables were being fitted outside on the street.
At first John didn't noticed a problem but about two weeks ago his downstairs toilet began to overflow with excrement, urine and used toilet roll. He called a plumber who told him the sewage pipe outside his house had be cut.
