Burst water main leaves homes flooded
Engineers have worked through the night to repair a burst water main that flooded homes on a street in Walsall.
West Midlands Fire Service said a number of properties were caught up in the incident on Broadway North, The Crescent and Sutton Road.
South Staffordshire Water worked to repair the burst during the early hours, with firefighters and police on the scene attempting to manage water flow to limit damage.
Two fire crews remained on the scene at 08:00 BST on Monday, with local road closures also remaining in place.
Local resident Jason Winnall said it appeared several properties had been affected by flood water.
Firefighters isolated the electricity supply to multiple properties and opened a hydrant to divert water.
A water boom and portable pumping equipment were also in use, with fence panels in some gardens removed in a bid to lower water levels.
