Claim-Sinkhole Incident Hello Everyone: I want to make you aware of a potential claim resulting from a non-injury single vehicle traffic incident because of a sinkhole in the City. The sinkhole was subsequently found to be a resuit of a sewer line and the Coachella Valley Water District is conducting the repair work. The following is a link to the recent newspaper article on the matter: http://www.mvdesert.com/article/20130822/NEWS08/308220050/Motorist-Palm-Desert-sinkhole-like- train-wreck-?odvssev=obinsite. Please note where the motorist, Mr. Ron Chan, is quoted as saying, "The cify didn't really take care of its roads in that they found three more potenfial sinkholes down the road on Cook Street".. ..... "1 don'i think that's right fhe city can get away scot-free while peoples' lives are at risk." I wilf be completing an incident report on the CJPIA website and forward the traffic incident report once I receive it from the Police Department. Sincerely, Stephen Stephen Y.

"Orrcall guys were woken up and responded around it kind of looks like 1:30 a.m.," she said. RAW VIDEO.:. Sinkhole.repair„in Palm Desert The tuming iane hote is about 20 feet by 10 feet and drops 12 feet to a broken sewer line — thought to be its cause. One lane of northbound Cook and the northbound tuming lane from Cook onto Sheryl are closed to traffic to accommodate a convoy of seven CVWD vehicles, including an excavator and a dump truck, but delays were minimal Tuesday moming. CVWD hoped to have the sinkhole filled by day's end, but there is currently no timetable for completion, Engel said. The repair crew uncovered a break at the top of the sewer line, wMich potentially leaked sewage — softening the surrounding ground. But the sinkhole could just as easily have been caused by whatever cracked the piping. No sewage leaked outside the sinkhole, according io a CVWD news release, and water and sewer services remain unaffected. "What the crew has done is taken the sewer line out of service and directed sewage into other pipeline to guarantee there's no disruption in service," Engel said. "We know that any of the sewage leaked was minimal and did not reach the surface."
