SPANISH FORK, Utah — A water line burst Friday afternoon in Spanish Fork, causing a large sinkhole to open up on one of the city's streets.
Spanish Fork City said the water main break occurred around 3 p.m. on 800 East, which is now closed between 100 North and 100 South. The public is urged to avoid the area.
Officals say they don’t know how it happened, but it’s not related to spring runoff.
The hole covered nearly the entire road and was filled with muddy water. Some nearby homes had water in the basements, but no one had to evacuate.
The city said residents in the area will have "little to no" water pressure for a few hours.
Crews are working to repair the sinkhole. They hope to have drinking water restored to these homes by the end of Friday night, and then the road fixed by Saturday morning.
