A WATER main on Wellington Street in West Perth has burst for the third time in just over a week.
The water main burst on Tuesday last week - creating a gaping hole in the road surface- and again two days ago, fifty metres down the road.
Both incidents caused traffic chaos.
Water Corporation crews are on site and have permanently shut off water supply to the pipeline.
All eastbound lanes of Wellington Street between Havelock Street and Sutherland Street are blocked.
Drivers should avoid the area.
Overnight crews will be installing an above-ground temporary pipeline to ensure customers in the area continue to have water supply.
The Water Corporation is hopeful that the damaged road will be repaired before morning traffic.
The entire length of pipeline will be replaced over coming days.
Yesterday, the Water Corporation said its water pipelines are expected to last about 100 years. The West Perth pipeline was laid about 50 years ago.
The Water Corporation has apologised to all affected customers, road users and the Perth community.
