A Thames Water van is also pictured onsite.
Thames has assured residents it is working to restore water supply and pressure to homes in the area after some nearby construction activity ruptured the pipe.
A spokeswoman said: “Our engineers are currently working hard to repair the pipe which was damaged by a third party digging nearby, and have now stopped the water flowing from it.
"Some customers may notice they have no water or lower pressure than normal while we get the pipe fixed. We’ll aim to get things back to normal as soon as possible."
She added they are investigating how the third party came to damage the pipe.
