    Residents in the area have been told they may have low water pressure because of the burst pipe, but engineers are on site to repair it.

    Water flowed heavily down Otley Road in Harrogate after a pipe burst this morning

    Water was gushing down Otley Road in Harrogate this morning after a pipe burst near the junction with Pannal Ash Drive.

    Flowing downhill, the water reached past Harrogate Grammar School, as well as down Cold Bath Road where it was running into driveways and towards garages.

    On Otley Road, sandbags had been placed at the door to a flat above So! Bar and Eats to stop the water running into the property.



    Engineers from Yorkshire Water were on the scene before 8am to repair the leak. A stop-go traffic control system was put in place and there was no sign of queuing.

    Some households nearby have been warned to expect low water pressure until the problem is fixed. A spokesman for Yorkshire Water said:

    "A burst pipe on Otley Road was reported to us shortly after 6am, which caused some disruption to water supply for nearby properties. Our teams currently on site have isolated the leak, are restoring supply to customers and will be working to repair the burst pipe as soon as possible."
