| Sydney Water main ruptures in Bonnyrigg |

 READ MORE TO VIEW GALLERY & VIDEO NSW Fire Brigade, Police and Sydney Water responded to residents calls in relation to a large water main rupture on Brown Rd at Bonnyrigg overnight. The burst occurred at around 2.30am, wasting tens of thousands of litres in water. A few dreary eyed residents watched from the comfort of their homes, making sure they were not going to be flooded. However, the NSW Fire Brigade ensured all nearby drains were cleared and the water had a free run to prevent homes from being damaged. Sydney Water arrived and immediately started shutting down the local supply backbone. Further assistance was needed to locate and close the neighbouring valves that feed the 375mm main line. The road is expected to collapse once the water is shut off later this morning and the intersection along with roundabout will need to be removed and re-constructed. It is likely repairs will take more than 12 hours and final re-building of the intersection may take a number of days.
