Major water leak affecting drivers in Peterborough city centre

The large flow of water began along Rivergate on Monday morning (July 17).

A large water leak is currently affecting drivers along RIvergate, just before Town Bridge in the centre of Peterborough.

Large amounts of spray are currently being pushed up by drivers along the stretch of road and the stream of water also appears to have pushed up paving slabs from the adjacent path.

Anglian Water is currently investigating the cause of the incident.

An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We are very sorry for the disruption caused while we repair a burst main on Rivergate in Peterborough.

"Our teams on site will be working to complete the job and reopen the footway as normal as soon as they possibly can.

"Once again, we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
