Yes there was a water main break but it was caused because of a very large sinkhole that could no longer support the pipe. You have to ask why things happen ! Sometimes the Kool-Aid has vinegar in it and we still wanted to taste good
So you know it is a FACT there is a sinkhole there? Or are you simply surmising. Remember a couple of years ago the island supporting part of the Morse bridge was sinking and causing the roadway to develop a large hump where it met the main landmass. They drilled cores all over the roadway to try to determine the cause. If there was a void there, it would have been discovered.

Second, you don't repair a sinkhole by pouring sand into it.
