City crews are continuing the repairs in the area of Summerwood Court and Timberlake Drive, near the Miramar Reservoir.
SCRIPPS RANCH, Calif. — The City of San Diego said emergency repairs are underway after recent heavy rain and corrosion to a stormwater pipe caused a sinkhole to form in Scripps Ranch on Monday, March 13.
Trees fell down in the vicinity as well. The residents also said they're worried the constant rain will make this problem worse. Additionally, they believe the storm drains aren't working properly. "We are concerned about more rain and what that might do to the sinkhole, the other trees and our homes," another resident said.
"Heavy corrosion of a 30-inch corrugated metal stormwater pipe has caused the erosion and failure of an adjacent slope near Jerabek Park in Scripps Ranch. The area has been blocked off as plans are underway for an emergency repair and restoration project for the pipe and hill slope."
