Residents just want answers
'Devastated' homes are still uninhabitable nearly two months after a damaged water pipe caused massive flooding in a Nottingham suburb. A Severn Trent pipe was damaged by "third party contractors on a construction site building new student accommodation" near High Road, Chilwell, early on Tuesday, March 7, which led to a large amount of water bursting on to nearby streets and homes for hours.
"Thankfully everybody on this street I know of is insured and the council tax has been suspended, but it is still devastating and no one has taken responsibility - there should be compensation for those impacted. It has ruined this part of the street, no one is back yet and I think some other homes on Lime Grove Avenue and Audon Avenue are still empty too," Mr Etchells said.
"No one has taken responsibility yet. We have been left out of pocket and the developers have washed their hands of it." In response to concerns it had been slow stopping the water flowing from the pipe, Severn Trent explained a "complex" process was needed to fix the large water main, which carries millions of litres of water a day. It added it was "imperative" to ensure the site was as safe as possible before work could start to restrict the flow, limit the impact of the incident, and start work on the repair.
"The effect on our lives has been horrendous. Our insurers have been amazing though, so I have been very lucky compared to other people." "The impact to the main caused destruction to many homes, and I have since spoken and met with many of the constituents involved to hear how the incident has impacted their lives," Mr Henry said.
