Southern Water said a rising main burst in Orient Road overnight, with the resulting flooding affecting surrounding roads this morning.
A spokeswoman for Southern Water said: “A pumped sewer main carrying wastewater from properties has burst.
“Our priority is to maintain services for local properties so that they can continue to use bathroom and kitchen facilities as normal this morning, while also preventing internal flooding to homes and protecting the environment. Then the burst main can be accessed and repaired.
