Watch as water erupts from fire hydrant on Edinburgh street
An Edinburgh street was soaked after water burst out from a fire hydrant this morning.
The burst was seen in Riego Street near Lothian Road, with a large pool of water forming on the ground.
Engineers from Scottish Water were made aware of the incident and were sent to fix the leak.
Videos and pictures were posted on social media to highlight the issue.
One tweeter, Scott Macdonald, wrote: “Hi @scottish_water There appears to be a rather dramatic issue with a fire hydrant on Riego Street in Edinburgh.
“It’s quite impressive, and pretty in its way, but I’m not sure if you’ve been alerted!”
