For months residents in Encino have been going back and forth with different city agencies trying to get a dangerous six-foot sinkhole repaired.
The sinkhole, located in the 16400 block of Refugio Road, first appeared in April."We noticed a mound developing in the street started looking like a small volcano, and then at one point, it just erupted," said one resident."If a truck ran over this or an emergency vehicle, it would sink anything with a higher weight than a car. Highly dangerous," added another resident. For months, they have been asking the city to repair the rupture. But all they get is the runaround.
So we contacted Bureau of Street Services. They said file a report. We filed the report," said resident Caroline Blashek."DWP has said this is not our problem. It's street services. Street services said it's not. Our problem it's DWP," added Rob Blashek. Residents were told the sinkhole was caused by a natural spring running underneath the road, perhaps from a well nearby.
