Crews work to finish Casa De Oro storm drain repair from Jan. 22 storm [Video]

SPRING VALLEY, Calif. (KGTV)— The sounds of construction and crews in hard hats will soon be gone.

“We are going to be done in two weeks with the entire project,” Eric Tallarita, the Project Manager, said.

San Diego County contracted crews are fixing what the Jan. 22 brought to this Casa De Oro neighborhood.

“When I got home that afternoon, Dennis from across the street comes out and says I got a sinkhole at the bottom of the hill,” Max Wright, a neighbor, said. “And then I’m gonna say two or three days later, another sinkhole opened up between the two holes.”

Tallarita told ABC 10News the hole was approximately 30 feet long, 20 feet wide and 15 to 20 feet deep.

“The biggest risk were the initial sinkholes growing and impacting the two structures adjacent to them,” Tallarita said.

The sinkholes put the homes and a pool at risk.
