Huge leak shoots water 25 feet high into the sky in Yorkshire suburb
This was the scene in a Sheffield suburb earlier on Thursday (April 28), following a huge water leak which caused a jet of water to shoot several feet into the air.
The leak was spotted by a Star reader, near to the junction of Springvale Road and Commonside in Crookesmoor during Thursday afternoon.
The water can be seen surging some 25+ feet high above Rajput restaurant, which is based on the junction of Springvale Road and Commonside.

Flats are in the process of being built on the site, which was previously home to a filling station but subsequently stood empty for some 20 years.
Building work on the site began in June last year, and a time estimate of 18 months to complete the work was given at the beginning of the development.
