Water Leak

There's been water cascading down the street in front of our house all week.
It appears to have come from a cracked pipe in the street around the corner.
I'm surprised that the water board aren't on the case as the next thing you know there'll be a hose pipe ban.
Who knows how long it will go on for, but it's become quite a feature, a water feature!!
Here's what wiki says about a leak.

A leak is a way (usually an opening) for fluid to escape a container or fluid-containing system, such as a tank or a ship's hull, through which the contents of the container can escape or outside matter can enter the container. Leaks are usually unintended and therefore undesired.
