A burst water pipe has made an impressive display on Rythdale Road in Pakenham this morning, Monday 6 December.

It’s understood the vertical torrent of water has been gushing since 8.30am.

A spokesperson for Melbourne Water said local customers may notice lower pressure than usual.

“We are aware of a burst pipe on the Tarago-Westernport main near Rythdale Road in Pakenham and our crews are working to fix the issue,” they said.
