The burst water main is near Southlands Hospital
A burst water main has left a Shoreham road closed.
Water is leaking from the main at a building site near Southlands Hospital in Shoreham.
Police were called by West Sussex Fire and Rescue at 12.40pm to help with traffic control in Upper Shoreham Road.
The street, between Park Avenue and the parade of shops opposite the hospital, has been closed and drivers are advised to use alternative routes.
A Southern Water spokesman said: “We apologise to customers in Shoreham for disruption to their water supplies this afternoon.
“This is due to a water main in Upper Shoreham Road having been damaged by a third party.
“People may be experiencing either low water pressure, or loss of supply but we can reassure customers that we are doing our utmost to restore supplies as soon as possible and apologise for any inconvenience.”

Wondered why I had no water pressure I had to dive out of the bath and turn off the immurseian heater before it burnt out.
