A burst water main in Crofton Downs on Sunday afternoon has left a few hundred homes without water.

Tar seal on a suburban Wellington road bubbled before a geyser shot more than 10 metres into the air.

Margaret Ellis, of Thatcher Cres, Crofton Downs, lives beside the scene of the water main that ruptured spectacularly on Sunday afternoon.

"They were laying the road and all of a sudden we saw a bubble of water, then a bigger one, then a bigger one."

MEGAN DOW/SUPPLIED

A burst water main near Mitre 10 in Crofton Downs sent a geyser about 10m into the air on Sunday afternoon.

The final one was a tower of water more than 10m high that showered her roof and flooded the nearby roundabout intersection of Silverstream Rd and Churchill Dr.

Burst Derby water main 'sounded like a bomb'

A water main burst with such force it damaged windows and cars and left homes needing to be evacuated.

The burst in the Chester Green area of Derby sent a plume of water three storeys high, eyewitnesses said.

Some residents have been offered temporary accommodation by the city council.

Sections of Mansfield Road and Alfreton Roads and several surrounding street have been closed while repairs are carried out.

Resident Dawn Mead said she was woken by what sounded like a bomb going off at about 02:00 GMT.

She said: "My house is a disaster zone... I thought somebody was attacking my house, I couldn't comprehend what was happening.

"My car is wrecked. I looked down my hall and I am not looking forward to going back in."

Image captionSome houses and cars in the neighbourhood were damaged by water from the burst main

BBC reporter Chris Fawcett said water was almost covering the bonnets of some cars and was gushing out of the ground and up the steps of some houses.

A Severn Trent Water spokesman said some households in the area will have low water pressure or a lack of supply due to the problems.

"Our teams are out on site now and will work around the clock to get this pipe fixed and everything back to normal as quickly as possible," the spokesman said.
