Broken concrete gutter and wet road from a burst water pipe

We didn't have to ramble far in East London for these photos - these photos of the wet road and the broken concrete gutter were taken in Garcia Street, Cambridge, East London, not far from where we live.

The water pipe burst on Saturday morning 29 May 2010, and the road, driveways, and gutter were flooded.  Cars wheels whoosed through the water, causing water to spray up everywhere.

The East London municipality did not take long to arrive and repair the damaged water pipe, and luckily water supply to the nearby houses in Garcia Street was soon flowing once more.
