A water leak near a supermarket which has spilled out onto the road has emerged, just days before a hosepipe ban is enforced.
Water could be seen gushing from a manhole cover near the Wincheap Park & Ride and Morrisons in Canterbury.
Video shows gallons upon gallons flowing down the carriageway, creating large bubbles while the liquid continued to jet out of the road.
One eyewitness reported seeing it temporarily stop flowing, though it soon began to leak again.
The wastage comes just days after customers across the majority of Kent were told to stop using their hosepipes as of Friday.
It comes after the Met Office confirmed this spring was the driest since 1893, with warm conditions expected to continue.
As a result, South East Water says demands for drinking water in Kent and Sussex reached “record levels” since May.
The firm has been contacted for comment regarding the latest leak.
