January 1, 2019 (Spring Valley) – A collapsed culvert caused a sinkhole to open in the Sweetwater Lodge trailer park on Jamacha Road yesterday.   Two residents of a nearby mobile home were evacuated to temporary lodging arranged by the park owner.

The sinkhole measured 12 feet across and 10 feet deep, according to San Miguel Fire Department.

Water services were disrupted for some park residents in order to repair an underground pipe,  but fortunately no homes have been damaged and no injuries occurred.
