Road subsiding

I reported a leak coming up through the tarmac to Thames Water over a week ago. It has not yet been fixed. The amount of water coming through has increased and now, in the last 24 hours, the road appears to be subsiding with a 5 to 10cm dip in the tarmac. The surrounding tarmac moves just by pressing it with my foot. The road is on a bus route and subject to other heavy traffic. I am concerned that it might give way completely and cause a serious accident. I have reported the leak to Thames Water again this morning.
