The incident occurred on the Santpedor road in Manresa during the early hours of January 7. Water was flowing out with great intensity, emerging from drains and causing visible damage to the roadway.
The force of the water was strong enough to cause significant cracks in the asphalt, suggesting a burst main pipe. An official report from Aigües de Manresa is pending to confirm the exact cause of the failure.
The accumulation of water was significant and led to flooding in several commercial and residential ground-floor premises in the area.
Residents and witnesses who saw the events reported damage to street-level premises. Local authorities and technicians from Aigües de Manresa have been working since the early hours to control the leak and begin repair work.
