The geyser shot out of the centre of the street around 1pm.
Hunter Water and emergency services attended the scene.
The Mercury understands the incident was related to pipe corrosion and is not uncommon.
About 80 homes in the lower third of Brunswick Street have been affected by the burst water main but service should resume later this afternoon.
