CHARLES CO, MD (WUSA9) - A Charles County couple woke up to find not one, but two sinkholes in their backyard.
Now they might be getting stuck with a $100,000 bill to fix the sinkholes, even though they formed after a drainpipe that serves their neighborhood busted.
Coral and Gary Showalter have lived in their house in Waldorf since 1998. They have a beautiful backyard, complete with in-ground swimming pool. But just feet away, two sinkholes formed within the last month. It's all because a pipe that goes underneath their backyard busted. Coral says the drainage pipe serves their neighborhood and even nearby Route 228.

Whomever is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the pipe. Who put it there?

ReplyDeleteand Ditto again but doubt it will happen.
ReplyDeleteSeeing enough of the denial of responsibility
from Wicomico County as to who is responsible
for damages due to flooding in our last rain.
County are not
cleaning out the drains, the pipes aren't large
enough to carry the water away fast enough and
they will tell you------Anything to avoid fixing
the problem!!! The Hell with you the homeowners
that's their thinking ! County does not want to
spend the money to "FIX It !"
