Engineers tackle major pipe burst on Otley Road in Harrogate
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.
