STINKING sewage is coming up out of the road at Nunwell Street in Sandown.
Flies can be seen swarming round the sewage, which is seeping out of a hole in the pavement and swimming down the road.
UPDATE: The sewer is now being fixed
See video below.
An eyewitness said: "The stench is horrendous and can be smelt from quite a way away."
The County Press contacted Southern Water for further information and a spokesperson said: "No one has contacted Southern Water regarding this, according to our system.
"We have raised this as a result of your email and a team will be dispatched to clean up, investigate and clear any blockage found."
Island Roads said: "We will be attending the scene shortly to make an assessment and take any appropriate action."
The Isle of Wight Council has reminded residents of the flood advice issued recently, which includes who to notify when sewage is spotted.
