A highway maintenance van was sent to the site of the leak, which is next to a building site on Springvale Road.

Flats are in the process of being built on the site, which was previously home to a filling station but subsequently stood empty for some 20 years.

Building work on the site began in June last year, and a time estimate of 18 months to complete the work was given at the beginning of the development.
