(Ed.'s Note: Crews of Brownsville Public Utilities Board workers were on the scene just west of the intersection Los Ebanos and Paredes Line Road where a sewer force main erupted Tuesday.
The break eroded the street base and ate out large sections of the road base, forcing PUB and City of Brownsville Traffic Safety personnel to close the section of Los Ebanos between Paredes and the McKintosh streets jst before the US 77-83 frontage road.
The damaged main can be seen in the front with the suction pipe. PUB workers siphoned the raw sewage from the broken main in the sinkhole into an adjacent sewer manhole (as can be seen in the top picture).
Questions to workers about possible stops in service in the area wen unanswered because they said PUB officials had prohibited them from answering any questions unless they went through the PUB's public information office.
Yesterday running raw sewage filled the sinkhole and spectators could see that the force of the effluent had eaten away at the road below the street level.
Workers did not know how long it would take the utility to mend the break and city Public Works to resurface the road and traffic could be restored.)
