That Sinking Feeling

by The Editors on January 8, 2008

1 85 571 8 08RV’s were enough of a money pit in the first place without the ground opening underneath them. But that’s exactly what happened at an RV storage lot in Calavera Hills (off Tamarack) when a 70-foot-deep sink hole opened in the ground overnight.

Steve Plyler, water superintendent for the Carlsbad Water District, said an 8-inch water pipe burst at about 7:30 p.m. Monday, punching a hole through a concrete retaining wall that holds up the hillside asphalt driveway and causing the pavement to drop away. “We’re still trying to ascertain exactly what happened,” Plyler said. “But it’s pretty clear that the pipe burst.”

Until this gets fixed no RVs will be able to enter or leave the facility. In fact, the live in caretaker Andy Masters is stuck there.
