'Sky-high water feature' on Glasgow's Bath Street after burst pipe

An unusual water feature appeared on Bath Street on Thursday morning following days of issues with a nearby pipe.

Business owners and workmen were left scratching their heads after a burst pipe sent water shooting 'sky high' and sending showers down on motorists.

A section of road had been blocked off from Tuesday while workers attempted to fix an issue on the busy street.

Attempts on Thursday caused a water 'fountain' on the street.

Local business Taylor Ferguson Hairdressing took to social media to share pictures of the less-than-ideal attraction.

He said: "Bath Street has a new water feature: a sky-high fountain after a burst pipe incident. The issue has been around since Tuesday with sporadic visits from water workers. Today’s visitors arrived in a van. Did something. Result was the fountain. Then they left.

"Frustrating to think they’ve been on this issue since Tuesday.

"Thankfully it’s not stopped us doing what we do."

The burst pipe was luckily fixed a few hours later by Scottish Water.
