More on settlement: You will notice asphalt having been patched near many storm water drains along many of our roads. I believe that also due to insufficient tamping of the backfill around the initial construction.
Don't tampa the excavations Virginia. There is a possibility of stuff falling in here and all the way to Tampa. Type in these words;
