The basic problem is a sinkhole in my front yard directly above the City's buried drain pipe that carries rain water from Bishopsgate Lane. This is a recurring problem. A similar sinkhole was reported to the City in late 2014 by my neighbor at 799 Bishopsgate Lane. The sinkhole was very close to the property line between me and the neighbor. Public Works Storm Water Maintenance fixed it in April 2015. The lawn was dug up and repairs made to the drainage pipe. Also made major repairs to the storm water sewer opening on Bishopsgate Lane.
This new sinkhole is very near the earlier sinkhole. It is directly over the drainage pipe. The earlier sinkhole was determined to be due to a break in the pipeline which allowed the soil in the lawn to gradually escape. I suspect it is happening again.
