A burst pipe is sending thousands of gallons of water towering into the air, drenching neighbouring properties and leaving stunned residents without supplies while the UK is on drought alert.
Dramatic aerial photos show the water cascading out of the ground - about 100ft into the air - across Sneedhams Green in Matson, Gloucester, after a pipe burst on Wednesday.
One house adjacent to the leak is being battered by the jet stream, and the water is causing the Sneedhams Road to flood.
The huge fountain of water can be seen from miles away as the water gushes out of the ground and sprays across the road and properties.
It comes as Britain is on high drought alert with the country on track for the driest spring in over a century.
