Emergency services were brought in, and roads were cordoned off after the massive water leak caused a sinkhole to open up. Thames Water has now confirmed that all residents will shortly have running water resumed. Ahmed Kazi, a local business owner, told London Live: It was about 5:30 pm and we just came to open the restaurant, and lots of water started coming through. They are working hard and trying to solve the problem, but it is affecting all our local businesses because Saturday night is one of the busiest nights of the week and we couldn’t open the restaurant.
