The hydrant, on Swindon Road, is shooting water high up in the air much to the surprise of drivers.

South Staffordshire Water is on its way to repair the hydrant but insists no homes have been affected. The road has not been closed.

A spokesman for the water company said: "Our team have attended Swindon Road, Kingswinford today to a flushing water hydrant.

"The hydrant has been isolated to stop the flow of water and scheduled for repair. This will have no impact on water supply to surrounding properties."
