A burst water main has seen a huge jet of water surge into the sky.
The major pipe has burst in Fairfax Avenue in Basildon - causing the towering jet of water in the street.
Pictures show it reaches similar heights to the nearly street lamps in the residential road in the town.
It's unclear how many homes have been affected.
Essex and Suffolk Water has been contacted for comment.
