water main

The case was due to be heard at Westminster Magistrates' Court but was moved to Woolwich, due to a burst water main.

Engineers working to repair a sinkhole which appeared in Godstone High Street in Surrey six months ago say the collapse started with a burst water main.

Thousands of people have been affected by a burst water main in Broughton, with residents helping deliver bottled water to others, and long queues reported at water stations.

The agencies said that a water main was temporarily disrupted while the bridge construction took place.

It estimated that at current rates it would take companies 700 years to replace the entire water mains network.
