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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He said: \u201cWhen I told Yorkshire Water, they told me that the pipes aren\u2019t on their maps so they couldn\u2019t do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSheffield City Council told me that it\u2019s not a highway, so they can\u2019t do anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Holland said he knows of at least 12 residents who live around the area have lodged complaints as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cIt’s horrid to look at, people have to walk through it, the water has turned children\u2019s shoes, car tyres and dogs feet orange.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
