CHATSWORTH, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Families living near the massive sinkhole in Chatsworth should be prepared to lose phone and internet service this week.

Chatsworth sinkhole grows bigger amid leaking sewage

A sinkhole that swallowed two vehicles in Chatsworth was growing bigger even as crews worked to salvage the wreckage and secure the site.

Earlier this month, the sinkhole swallowed two cars during the stormy weather.

The Los Angeles City Council approved about $500,000 in emergency funding to speed up repairs.
