The "serious" leak is believed to have first started Monday (July 20) outside Crosse Courts, in Laindon.

But homeowners have been left unsatisfied as the leak, which has been reported to Essex and Suffolk Water, has now lead to water coming up through the pavement.

Thomas Quested, said: "We’re now into the third day of a serious leak outside 164 Crosse Courts SS155JE.

"Water is coming up through the pavement so god knows what this is doing to the ground underneath. Your site says that it’s reported. Any chance you can investigate this soon?"
