Crews worked overnight to repair a large sinkhole that opened up in the middle of a major street on Saturday, Oct. 4.
The sinkhole, estimated at up to 15 feet deep, appeared on Meats Avenue at Santiago Boulevard. The street was blocked off and traffic was redirected.
What caused the sinkhole is under investigation, but apparently it followed a water main break. The water at a couple of nearby homes was shut off as repairs were underway, according to ABC7.
“Some of our neighbors, we have a Facebook page, and somebody said, ‘Hey, is your water pressure low?’ and I checked my water, and it was low, and I was a little scared because today’s a hair washing day, and clearly that didn’t happen,” Stephanie Logan, a neighbor, told the station. “I was able to at least take a shower. We were able to fill up the water filters and all of that, so we got through the day. But yeah, just kind of a downer not having the water pressure.”
Repairs were expected to be complete by Sunday morning.
