A Nottingham woman was left frustrated after a burst water pipe created a "large" stream next to her home. Doris Brown, 80, who lives on Warren Avenue, Sherwood, woke up to water running into her garden after a water pipe broke on December 15.
Severn Trent had intended to repair the burst water pipe, but were forced to reschedule. This left the street partially flooded by the water which flowed day and night for four days.
Ms Brown was angered by the wait for the "urgent" repairs and at the thought of water being wasted. "It started early at 6am on Thursday morning - a neighbour came to me and asked me if everything was alright and I said 'yeah, why', and she said 'have you seen all this water?'
