I was wondering what that sound was....

I was getting sort of creeped out by the unusual noises tonight. I was pretty chicken until I heard a truck zip up speedily into our street. It was only then that I dared to look. Apparently the house opposite had a burst water main or the tap was broken. The pipe in their front yard had water gushing out of it. Speedy response from the emergency water services though. It had only been 5 minutes and they arrived after that. A lot of metal banging but now it seems the problem has been fixed.
