Water-Line Break Causes Sink Hole

Posted: Updated:

JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

A sinkhole caused problems for motorists and some residents in the Belhaven area Thursday.

City spokesman Chris Mims said the hole was created by a break in an eight inch water line. It happened at Madison and Fortification streets in Jackson.

Mims said crews hoped to have it all repaired by midnight.

About a dozen homes on Madison Street will not have water service until then.
