Jackson crumbling from within due to sinkholes

Posted: Oct 16, 2015 4:16 PM EDT, Updated: Oct 17, 2015 12:57 AM EDT

Posted by Marsha Thompson  (Mississippi News Now)  http://www.msnewsnow.com/story/30282043/jackson-crumbling-from-with...

We looked into yet another unexpected water and sewer main break. This one is in a busy north Jackson neighborhood and residents there are under a boil water notice for the second day.
     
The problem erupted at the busy intersection of Northside Drive and Ridgewood Road in north Jackson.  Area residents say it began leaking Thursday.

Friday morning, the street began crumbling from within. A geyser erupted when water and sewer lines broke. Crews from the City of Jackson arrived quickly to try and minimize the damage.

Nandy's Candy took it all in stride. 

"We came in at 10 a.m. and were told we were under a boil water notice. It was lifted but then it's come back again. That's how it goes." said Emmie King Friday.

Other businesses in the area are expressing frustration. 

Jeff Good, owner of Broad Street Grocery said they had to close temporarily Thursday. He said this is the sixth time they've had a water episode in the past 10 months. Good called it a full on crisis.

St. Richards had children bring bottled water to school today, and Starbucks in Maywood Mart had a closed sign on the front door.

October 15, 2015   For the second time in two weeks, water main breaks on Grassy Key, water pressure down for homes and businesses

http://www.keysnet.com/2015/10/15/505214/for-the-second-time-in-two...

For the second time in two weeks, a water main broke on Grassy Key Thursday morning, lowering water pressure for homes and businesses north and south of mile marker 59.

"Valves are being shut down to the north and south," said Tom Walker, engineering deputy director of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority. "Probably people closest to the leak will have low flow, very low pressure. When we shut the valves down, there will be people there who won't have water."

He said he expects water pressure to be back to normal by 5 or 6 p.m.

"Since it's right in the same vicinity of the last leak .... there had been corrosion on the bottom of the barrel of the pipe. The wall thickness thinned out to the point where it finally broke. This may turn into an area where we have to do pipe replacement."

He added, "About five years ago we had a leak in that area but nothing subsequent until two weeks ago."

On Sept. 25, a sinkhole developed in the same area and customers lost water pressure due to a pipe break.

The FKAA was also dealing with a small leak on 109th Street in Marathon.

"It's an air release valve. For whatever reason, a bonnet came off. Instead of letting air out, it's letting water out," Walker said. "Somebody saw some water coming out of the valve."

Additionally, there was a leak on a pipe on State Road 905 in North Key Largo Wednesday night. Walker said that was localized and affected few people.

Oct 10,2015 JACKSON, Miss. —Jackson is dealing with a rash of over 20 water main breaks this weekend, according to the city's director of communications, Shelia Byrd.
Crews have been working throughout the weekend and will continue to make repairs on a priority basis, Byrd said.

The breaks affecting the highest number of residents will be given top priority, she said.

Three-lane road collapse after water pipe burst in Melbourne's south-east

Updated about 2 hours ago

A road has been closed in Melbourne's south-east after three lanes caved in due to a burst water pipe.

The incident took place around 2:00am (AEST) on Tuesday, causing a huge hole on Glen Eira Road in Caulfield.

South East Water said the hole was not a sinkhole as it was caused by the burst pipe.

"Crews were onsite in the early hours of this morning to respond to the burst main," South East Water said in a statement.

"The burst has caused damage to the roadway, as such the road is closed between Kooyong Road and Orrong Road.

"Crews are working to reinstate the road as quickly as possible."

Water supply has been restored to the area.

The burst pipe caused damage to the roadway, with the road between Kooyong Road and Orrong Road closed and traffic being diverted.
