Water main break leads to large sinkhole in city of Orange

ORANGE, Calif. (KABC) -- A massive sinkhole opened up in the city of Orange after a water main break in the middle of the street was reported on Saturday morning.

The water at two nearby homes was turned off as crews worked to repair the break.

The sinkhole, which is 12 to 15 feet deep, appeared on Meats Avenue at Santiago Boulevard, according to the City of Orange Public Works Water Division.

"Some of our neighbors, we have a Facebook page, and somebody said, 'Hey, is your water pressure low?' and I checked my water, and it was low, and I was a little scared because today's a hair washing day, and clearly that didn't happen," said neighbor Stephanie Logan. "I was able to at least take a shower. We were able to fill up the water filters and all of that, so we got through the day. But yeah, just kind of a downer not having the water pressure."

Repairs are expected to be complete by Sunday morning.

The investigation into the cause of the water main break is ongoing.
