On Saturday, the city announced recent rainfall caused the sinkhole off of Lake Drive in Cardiff to expand.One man said"Wow" when asked his reaction to the news. "They're trying to fix it properly, I guess, for the longterm, so it doesn't happen again," he continued.The city says earlier this month, they had approved an emergency declaration to repair the problem stemming from a pipe installed by the county before the city incorporated.
The construction required road closures initially expected to last three to four weeks, which will likely be longer now.Dozens gathered around the construction site on Sunday morning to see how large the sinkhole has become.One board member for the Cardiff Park Homeowners Association says the city has not reached out to the association regarding the sinkhole, which sits yards away from homes.
