Water main breaks in two different areas of Alameda have caused massive sinkholes the past couple of days. As a result, some residents have been without water while crews work to patch the areas, EBMUD said.
On Friday night a water main break at the 1200 block of Otis caused a sinkhole, East Bay Municipal Utility said.
EBMUD said 40 customers were without water as crews worked to repair the hole. They estimated to restore water service by 2 p.m. Saturday. Just a day earlier, a massive sinkhole was patched at the 2900 block of Lincoln Avenue. Water service was turned off for customers on Lincoln from Versailles to High and a few surrounding streets while EBMUD fixed that hole.
Residents posted photos of flooded driveways and yards to Facebook as crews worked to fix the damaged road.ALSO:
