Burst St Helier water main which created 20-foot fountain fixed by Jersey Water engineers

• Watch as water shoots 20 feet up into the air from a burst main

Some residents and businesses in St Helier have been warned about discoloured water and low pressure after a main burst.

Jersey Water responded to the incident in Kensington Place on Tuesday morning (23 April) and faced water shooting 20 feet up into the air.

The company described the situation as "relatively rare" and fixed the issue after hours of work by engineers.

The section of the road near Cheapside will stay closed whilst repairs are finished, access from the south by the Grand Hotel is open as usual.

Earlier in the day, those in the area had been asked not to run dishwashers or washing machines - that guidance has since been lifted.

Water services should now be back to normal and all affected customers have been visited.

Anyone still experiencing problems can call Jersey Water for support and advice on 01534 707300.

The company added: "A big shout out to our Network team for fixing this burst as quickly as you did. Now back to base to dry off!"
