Residents across Fulwood are facing major leaks as they wait for Sheffield City Council and Yorkshire Water to decide who is responsible for the repair.

Martyn Holland, 63, lives in the house on Hillcote Close where the leak is coming from and has reported this to both Sheffield Council and Yorkshire Water but claims both are denying responsibility for the repair.

He said: “When I told Yorkshire Water, they told me that the pipes aren’t on their maps so they couldn’t do anything.

“Sheffield City Council told me that it’s not a highway, so they can’t do anything about it.”

Mr Holland said he knows of at least 12 residents who live around the area have lodged complaints as well.

He said: “It’s horrid to look at, people have to walk through it, the water has turned children’s shoes, car tyres and dogs feet orange.”

Mr Holland gave credit to Yorkshire Water who he said were the first ones to send someone out to investigate last Thursday, but the leak is still on-going.

Yorkshire Water and the Sheffield City Council have both been contacted for comment but are yet to reply.
