Street floods after water main bursts

Part of a street was flooded after a water main burst.

The pipe was damaged on Ellen Terrace in Washington, near Sunderland, on Sunday and repairs were carried out during the night.

Northumbrian Water said its initial work was finished at about 03.30 BST and supply was not affected.

However, due to the damage, a full clean-up of the area is expected to continue throughout the week.

Northumbrian Water said it hoped the road would partially reopen later.

The 12 inch (30cm) pipe burst on Sunday.

A spokesperson said: "Due to the damage caused by the burst pipe, work will continue during the week to carry out a full clean-up."
