A Glasgow resident has been left disgusted after a burst sewer triggered a “jobby geyser” spewing human waste onto the street.
The man says that the burst pipe on Hector Road in Shawlands, southside, left “turds all over the pavement” for nearly two weeks.
In a post, they said: “Hey Scottish Water, just wondering when you are going to get to permanently fixing the collapsed sewer pipe on Hector Road in Shawlands, Glasgow?
“Don’t want to sound pushy, but it’s been over two weeks since you first came out, and now it’s spewing human turds all over the pavement
“It would be a real treat if residents of all ages didn’t have to avoid a jobby geyser whilst walking down the street.”
