Hide AdA Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: “A team is on site now carrying out the repair to the burst on Ashdell Road caused by recent road resurfacing.
"We’ve had to use specialist techniques to isolate the part of the water main that has burst which has meant the repair has taken longer than usual.
"But, this has allowed us to make sure that customers supplies were not affected. We hope to have the pipe fixed as quickly as possible.”
