Kids were seen playing in a fountain of water after vandals illegally set of a water hydrant.
Video captured on a mobile phone showed a fountain of water on Lee Vale Road in Gateacre on Wednesday, August 10, after a water hydrant was tampered with. The video shows a number of children playing in the water as it gushes out into the road.
A small stream of water was also captured flowing down a large stretch of the road. People living in the area reported the issue to United Utilities at 2.53pm after noticing they had no water and were not able to flush their toilets.
