TWO million litres of water have gone down the drain after a water main burst in suburban Melbourne.
The water main burst on King Arthur Drive, Glen Waverley, about 11.30am (AEDT) on Monday.
A Melbourne Water spokesman said an estimated two million litres of water was lost.
"It's believed that a faulty air ball valve, a valve which regulates pressure in the main, caused the burst," he said in a statement.
"There has been one report of damage to property and Melbourne Water is working with the owners to fix the situation."
The damaged section of the main was shut within one hour of it bursting.
The main supplies water from Silvan Reservoir to more than 100,000 homes and businesses in Melbourne's southeast.
Melbourne Water crews will continue working to repair the main without affecting customer water supply.
The incident would be investigated, the spokesman said.
The Metropolitan Fire Brigade was also on the scene and a spokeswoman said the water shot about 60 metres in the air.
