Burst mains pipes in Yau Ma Tei turned Portland Street into Poo-rtland Street last night.

A photoset was posted on Facebook yesterday evening which showed a delightful mixture of sewage and water (a.k.a poo sludge) flooding Portland Street.

The photos were reportedly taken at 8pm, approximately 10 minutes after others reported flooding on the nearby Waterloo Road.
