Burst pipe floods road and leaves homes without water supply in north Derbyshire

Motorists travelling between Grassmoor and Hasland on Saturday morning were confronted with the flood near a roundabout on North Wingfield Road. The road was later closed and traffic diverted.

Homes in both villages had no water, other areas reported low pressure or discoloured water.

Severn Trent put out a statement on the day saying: “We are sorry if you are experiencing no water supply, low water pressure or discoloured water in S40, S41, S42, S43 and S44 areas of Chesterfield. We are already carrying out essential work on the water network, including repairs to a burst water pipe in North Wingfield Drive.”

In an update from the water company today (Monday), a spokesperson for Severn Trent said: “We’re sorry for the disruption caused by one of our later pipes bursting between Hasland and Grassmoor on Saturday. We can confirm that the repair was completed on the same day, and customers’ supplies were back to normal quickly.

“We are aware that a small number of roads were temporarily closed to support the repairs, so we’d like to thank the local community for their patience; the roads were back open following the repairs on Saturday.”
