A ROAD in York has flooded after a water pipe burst during maintenance work in the city.
York Road in Strensall has flooded as a water main has burst. Contractors and City of York Council workers were removing a streetlight near the Old Vicarage in York Road, which appears to have caused damage to the water main.
"Many homes were without water supply. Already aware this affected York Road, West End and Princess Road areas at the very least," said Councillor Paul Doughty, of City of York Council.
The workers worked with Yorkshire Water to see if the immediate location can be isolated so that water supply can be restored to homes as soon as possible.
"By 10.30am, we had isolated the main and rezoned supplies so just 10 homes were without water. By early afternoon we had completed the repairs and restored supplies to all properties," a spokesperson for Yorkshire Water said.
