Streets flooded as water main bursts
SEVERAL properties were left without water yesterday after a burst water main in Bristol.
Hundreds of people were affected for about four hours on Wednesday night as streets were flooded – with some properties still without water yesterday morning.
The problem began at around 7pm, with the city centre around Victoria Street covered in water.
At around 10.30pm Bristol Water tweeted: “Everyone (but a few in BS4 while pressure builds back up) should now be back in water. The water main will be repaired tomorrow.”
