Three burst water mains affect Sheffield residents and businesses

The second happened in Haymarket, Castlegate, at about midday on Saturday. Water began pouring out of a crack in the road.

The water is now back on but Yorkshire Water called it a 'complicated repair' which took some time.

Today a main burst in Ellesmere Road, Burngreave. The supply has been turned off and repairs are ongoing.

Yorkshire Water said it could take two hours before water is restored.
