Hole on the southbound lane on canal st. filled with dirt apparently and just left to drive on without asphalt so probably not a big deal

We drove by it on 6/23 around 5:00pm, it's a nothingburger, maybe 2' x 2' right at the storm drain cover, it's filled in and the road open, we drove over it with the golf cart. I was hoping for a real sink hole, so far that's 2 for 2 here (previous one was at Sawgrass Grove, fire hydrant break, that one was a little bigger), yet to see a "real" sinkhole.

We had one of those collapses on our street last year, right next to the storm drain on the side of the road. They put an orange pylon out, and the next day they cut a nice neat square into the pavement, filled it with dirt, and put more pylons out. A week after that they covered it with pavement and smoothed it out. Two years before that, there was another one just like it down the other end of the block, but that one was bigger and took them MUCH longer to repair.

Lady Lake contracts the work out. I think contracting stuff out is a thing down here for pretty much everything. Back home our public works department does most of the work.

wow!!

Apparently they filled it in with dirt and paved over it.

I am not a civil engineer but from what little I have read, that does not appear to be the recommended treatment for sinkhole remediation.


Sinkhole Repair | How To Fix a Sinkhole in Your Yard

The article you referenced states "if it is actually a sinkhole and not a subsidence incident—a manmade problem caused by things like collapsed or broken sewer pipes and drainpipes".

This looks very much like the latter.

Just because certain "news" sites sensationalize it as a sink hole and state the road will be closed for an indeterminate length of time doesn't make it so.

It wasn't a sinkhole. It was a different type of ground collapse. And your post is an excellent reminder that there is a difference, and it's not just semantics.

A sinkhole is a TYPE of ground collapse. Not all ground collapses are sinkholes.

A distinction without a difference when I am in the car that hits it or if I live on the street that is blocked by it. In those situations, I'll leave it up to the experts to quibble over whether the proper term is sinkhole, wash out, depression, cover collapse, cover subsidence, or some other term, I just want to know how to get around it and when it will be fixed.

Were you told?

When it affects me, I will be sure to let you know. I can guarantee that my first question won't be whether it is a depression or sink hole or cover collapse or cover subsidence or wash out.
