A collapsed sewer is to blame for sewage flooding into parts of Beacon Park in Lichfield, engineers have revealed.

Museum Gardens [has been cordoned off](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/part-of-beacon-park-in-lichfield-closed-off-due-to-pools-of-raw-sewage/) since the pools of foul-smelling water began to appear.

A spokesperson for Severn Trent said work would continue over the weekend to repair the damage and clean-up the park.

> “We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we work in Beacon Park and Bird Street in Lichfield.  
>  
> “Following our investigations, the cause of the flooding appears to be a collapsed sewer pipe.  
>  
> “As our teams work hard to dig towards the collapsed pipe and start the repair, we will continue tankering to ensure there’s no further flooding.  
>  
> “The three-way traffic lights on Bird Street will also remain in place to allow our engineers to complete the complex repair as quickly and as safely as possible.   
>  
> “We’ve also had two teams in Beacon Park throughout the day (7th April) working on a thorough clean-up of the park, and they will be returning tomorrow to continue.  
>  
> “We apologise for any inconvenience or disruption caused, and we will continue to work hard to complete the clean-up of the park, and the pipe repair as soon as possible.”
