RESIDENTS were facing an horrendous clean-up operation when a sewer burst in Dolben Lane, Winyates, yesterday morning.
A drain started overflowing at about 11.30am and water and raw sewage flooded into at least three homes along the road.
Resident Joan Ivory said: "It's disgusting. The stench is horrific. The sewage was coming out of this drain like a fountain."
In some cases, toilets in people's houses also overflowed with sewage.
Residents had to wait at least two hours before Severn Trent attended the scene.
