Thank you Tophcfa. You are a person with common sense and 100% correct! If it were a 20ft. around and 10 ft. deep hole TV would still call it a "depression". This "depression" is only 24 feet West of the non working French drain (only approximately 50 ft. from our house) and may only be 3 ft by 10 inches currently, but what is disturbing was the preliminary findings.
An employee of an engineering company was able to completely insert a 10 ft. long 1 inch diameter metal probe to its handle, all around the hole, with almost zero resistance, as if it was going thru soft butter. He stated "I can't find a bottom. I am ordering a GPR (ground penetrating radar) scan of the area to determine the extent of the issue". He, very conveniently, did not have a business card with him.
After winning at the PWAC/SLAD meeting, we now know what David went thru against Goliath! BUT after numerous unanswered emails and phone calls, TV is now taking us seriously! We will believe what they said in the meeting when we see "the boots on the ground" doing the work. The minutes of the meeting are public record!
We wonder if TV will share with the neighbors the results of the GPR? If not, we know the next step to take!
