The one on the south side was a water main. Two post originally were tied together. Besides how much water from ALL the storm drains drain into the big pipe that failed? The storm drain pipe handles many storm drains. Having worked in the trenches for a good many years you'd be surprised what's down there and how easy the soil and the crushed stone sand base disappears. One little leak can create quite a crater under ground and then all of a sudden you have a break & collapse.
