Incredible drone footage shows burst pipe sending 20ft jet of water into the air

This is the moment a burst pipe sent water shooting 20ft into the air in a Northumberland town.

The water main burst near Hartford Gardens, in Cramlington, on Friday morning and the supply was eventually shut off at around 7pm.

Dramatic drone footage captured by Jason Carrick showed the water shooting into the air and across a nearby field.

His partner Donna Scott, 32, said they were shocked when they discovered the water pipe had burst.

She said: “It started on Friday morning and was still pouring out in the evening.

“Northumbrian Water weren’t on the scene until about 3pm and they said they couldn’t turn it off because it supplies water to Morpeth and Bedlington.
