'Pure chaos' as burst pipe sends water shooting into the air on street in Retford

Pictures show the extent of a pipe burst on a residential road in Nottinghamshire which caused 'pure chaos' and sent water shooting into the air. Officials from Anglian Water apologised for the disruption and said the burst water main had been caused by 'third party damage'.

The issue has been resolved and water is back on for local residents. Witness Angela Baildon said debris was "sent flying" during the incident in Thrumpton Lane, Retford, thought to have happened at around 5pm on Tuesday (October 25).

She said: "It was quite concerning to see it arriving home from work. The road was blocked off and it's pure chaos as there are no traffic lights. It's a good job that schools are off this week."
