A 'major' water mains burst in Truro has left water providers 'no choice' but to close a road due to its severity.
Fore Street in Chacewater has been closed and a diversion put in place while authorities investigate the incident.
The burst water main appears to have happened on Fore Street in Chacewater and South West Water, who manage the water supply in the area, are currently working to resolve the problem.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Cornwall Council said: "There has been a major water mains burst in Chacewater and South West Water has set up a road closure on Fore Street, Chacewater. South West Water is working hard to resolve.
