The Blaricumse street De Dam is drying up again after an important water pipe burst there yesterday afternoon. The streets were full of water and a car even sunk into the mud. A day later, the damage is clearly visible.
It is the talk of the town in the Bijvanck district. Neighbors are standing in the street to discuss what exactly happened yesterday afternoon. The damage in the street is still clearly visible.
The street has turned into a big mound of sand: there is at least a hundred cubic meters after yesterday.
No drinking water
Eighty of the surrounding houses were without drinking water until last night. The water has entered at least three homes. According to a spokesperson for the fire service, there was water in the crawl spaces. Several front yards were also severely damaged and partially swept away.
The car that was in the sinkhole has since been removed by a salvage company. Employees of the water company PWN have been working until late at night.
The road will be further repaired tomorrow.
