On Monday 9th June I was walking down Prince Regent Street, and I noticed a stream running down the gutter.
So I tracked it uphill to its source:
And a couple of days later, walking down Prince Regent Street again, I took a photo of the drain all the water was falling into.
Over a week later, the water is still running, and it’s now overflowed the drain and forms a delta where Prince Regent Street runs into North Junction Street:
Up at the source, the water has by now washed away part of the tarmac covering the old cobbles:
It’s quite impressive that just leaving a water main to run unchecked and unmended for only eight or nine days can do this much damage. I wonder how much longer Edinburgh Council will leave it to run?
