"I reported it at around 10pm, and it has taken a while to get under control as they had issued finding where to shut off the main. I was just about to go to bed and just heard all this water outside, and assumed it was raining. "I opened the curtains, and could just see it all just pouring out. The water people have been great as they were on to the scene very quickly. "When you compare this with what's been going in with Aberdeen, it's absolutely nothing.
