2nd Burst Water Main In Putney!
Yesterday SW15 was awash as images come in of leak on Putney Hill
 |
A torrent of water flowed rapidly down Putney Hill from before 10.00 on Saturday [possibly much earlier] until 4.00 on Sunday. |
 |
| Sand-bags were in place in appropriate places - at Cambalt Road intersection |
 |
| This is the scene at the intersection of Cambalt Road and Putney Hill mid-morning Saturday. This driver was more than a little surprised to find his path barred. The tape came down later in the day. Walking down the west pavement was impossible all day. |
 |
| A 12" cast-iron main had fractured. |
 |
| This sign suggests that repairs may well take until Wednesday |

| No cycling on the pavement sir! |
