Several homes have been flooded, after a burst water main sent water rushing through a street in Walsall early this morning.

South Staffs Water says the water main off Fallowfield Road has now been isolated and water supplies have returned to normal.

The company says between 10-20 properties in the area have been damaged and it is working with residents whose homes have been affected.

Customers are being told that their water may be a different colour than usual but the supplier says this is "perfectly normal" and does not pose a health risk.
