As well as the flooding on King Street, the burst water main has caused disruption to water supplies in the city.
A Severn Trent spokesperson said: "We’re aware of a burst on one of our larger pipes affecting supply to homes and businesses in Derby city centre this morning.
"We have teams heading there now to assess the damage and we’ll keep people updated via our website."
The firm was unable to tell us how many homes and business properties were affected but BBC Radio Derby has been told of two schools in Littleover that have closed due to water supply disruption - Carlyle Infant and Nursery School and Ivy House School.

King Street 'like a river' after water main burstpublished at 08:01 British Summer Time 12 April 2019

King Street remains closed and it's completely covered in water still - it looks like a river and the water is flowing down into the Jurys Inn car park.
However, St Alkmund's Way is looking a lot better now. When I first arrived this morning all the lanes below King Street were completely flooded and the water was getting quite deep so cars were having to slow right down to get through it.
Now most of that water has been cleared away and there's a Highways maintenance vehicle working its way down the street which seems to be sucking up the water and putting it into the drainage system.
