Sint-Pieters-Leeuw A break in a main pipe of drinking water last night, streets and cellars flooded set in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. The rising water caused a crater of 15 on 15 metres and 5 metres deep. The municipal emergency plan is initiated. Remarkable: the water leakage was yesterday already reported.
“I heard outside a loud sound,” says local resident Antonio Renda. “At first I thought a plane, but because the noise continued I went to the window to look. There I saw the huge water leak. In my garage, a bedroom and two other rooms on the ground floor, which is lower than the level of the street, stood about five inches of water. Together with my granddaughter, Ornella Vella I have the water extracted with aftrekkers. The damage is huge.”
