Videos show the water bubbling and shooting up like a fountain and covering the street as helpless residents looked on from their porches. 

In an update on X shortly after 5 p.m., Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services said they were on scene to tape off the area and work on fixing the water main leak. 

The update confirmed that multiple homes were affected, although no timeline for the leak's cleanup was provided.
