  • Published

An "enormous" area of Kidderminster is underwater due to a burst water pipe, Severn Trent Water has said.

The water company said Green Street had been hit by an "extremely large amount of flooding".

They added: "Our teams are heading to site as a priority and will be on site as soon as possible to begin investigations and repairs."

Drone shots taken at the scene showed Green Street, including a Wyre Forest District Council office building, underwater.

It comes after Severn Trent alerted customers earlier in the day at 13:55 BST that those with DY10 and DY11 post codes were experiencing no supply, poor pressure or discoloured water.
