DETROIT – A sinkhole that kept growing and wasn't getting the attention it deserved was an eyesore and a big danger in a Detroit neighborhood.
That's why people who lived nearby reached out to Help Me Hank. View the previous report here: Residents on Detroit's east side dodge dangerous sinkhole.
The sinkhole was huge, but with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department on scene, it should soon be a distant memory.
Keith Clarke has two daughters and he was concerned for their safety. He was thrilled to see the repairs getting underway.
A viewer emailed helpmehank@clickondetroit.com, raising concerns over the issue and asking Local 4 to contact the city.
DWSD was quick to respond. The sinkhole was caused by two issues. It was a storm drain that collapsed, which makes it more complicated than a standard sinkhole. The other issue was a slow-moving contractor.
The repair may take a few days.
