An overflowing sewer spilled over at a popular park.
Waste could be seen leaking from a drain onto the footpath and grass at South Park in Armstrong Road, Maidstone.
The issue was first spotted early last week with some reporting a smell coming from the area.
Maidstone council said it was aware of the issue and had arranged for a jetting crew to attend the site.
Southern Water was also at the scene.
They confirmed a rag was the cause of the leak.
A spokesperson for the utility company said: “Our teams attended South Park, Maidstone following reports of an overflowing manhole.
“We located the issue, which was a blockage caused by unflushable materials.
“This was quickly cleared, we’re sorry for any disruption this caused residents in the area.”
