Burst water main on road

[rimexboy]

Well got into work this morning, to find a burst water pipe call Thames water to report it and a guy drives down at 9am looks at it makes a call and says he will be back tomorrow to fix it...

Then by 330pm it's like this....



Called the council they are now sending someone down...

If your car or van goes in that it will cause a lot of damage

Seen a lot worse tbh Simon. I've seen Guildford St in Chertsey turned into a river

And ain't it taking time to do the pipes near the Twyhurst, nightmare down there now!!!!!

Steve I bet you have, still not a workman in site or a cone in place, I'm not sure who is worse Enfield council or Thames water as they are both aware and still nothing done....

I would not wish for anyone to drive over it as a car or vans wheel will go in but I doubt it will come out....

Lol just stuck that in it as no cones to be seen at all and did not want some poor bugger to wreak their car/van...

He started to do this



And before he could finish, the water board turned up...
