Windows Blow Out As A Torrent Of Water Inundates Townhouses At Elermore Vale

BY IAN CROUCH

Residents of a group of townhouses at Elermore Vale have been woken by a torrent of water flooding their homes.

A water main burst just before 4.00am on Friday.

Windows blew out as thousands of litres of water inundated 12 villas in Taurus Street and Aries Way.

A woman in one of the townhouses could be heard calling out for help - it's understood she's been rescued.

Several residents were evacuated but thankfully, no-one's been injured.

Emergency services are still at the scene - Hunter Water crews have managed to shut off the water.
