A WATER leak has flooded an Andover town centre street.

On Wednesday, August 13, residents reported a leak to Southern Water that has been filling Bridge Street with water.

Writing on the Spotted In Andover Facebook group, one user said: "What a joke. We can’t use our hosepipes and water bill has doubled, and yet another leak has surfaced, which will be losing gallons of water."

Another user said: "And here's me desperate to use the hosepipe to water my plants -definitely get your steps in with a watering can."

A user said: "Hopefully quicker than the one in Marchant Road. First fix failed, and it has been around six weeks since it started leaking again, and they have turned up to try again this morning."

A spokesperson for Southern Water said: "Our inspector attended this leak earlier today and has a raised a high priority job.

"Our teams will be attending this leak today."
