A major burst water main has sent thousands of gallons of water flying 100ft into the air.

The huge jet of water was shooting from a pipe in Matson, Gloucester, after the water pipe burst earlier today.

One nearby house was completely battered by the huge stream of water, while nearby Sneedhams Road was flooded by the deluge.

Local water company Severn Trent managed to turn the water main off at about 2pm – leading to a large round of applause from nosy neighbours watching them work.

A spokesperson for the company said: ‘We want to thank local people and customers for their patience as our teams continue to manage a burst pipe in Matson.

‘We are liaising directly with anyone impacted by the burst, which is on one of our bigger pipes.
