HTN: Springville Sinkhole Getting Bigger

A big sinkhole in Springville has gotten even bigger, and residents want to know why. Officials say the hole is increasing in length north and south. The hole is on an Erie County road, so the town has been waiting for the county to repair the problem. The Erie County Department of Public Works says the county and the town are working "very closely together." Inspectors say there is hollowing underneath a culvert in the road and the dirt is falling in, allowing water to from a nearby creek to spill into the hole. A temporary dam will need to be put in place to halt the flow of water just above the stream's spillway.
