Crews will be working to repair a large sink hole in a street in Troy, where another infrastructure failure last month cut off the water supply to nearby communities.
Officials in Troy believe the pavement gave way after a sewer line collapsed under Campbell Avenue early Sunday. The street remains closed as workers used a camera Monday to get a better look at the damage below ground in an effort to determine what repairs need to be made. Mayor Patrick Madden: "We encountered a lot of mud and a pretty significant root ball. So we pulled the camera back out, but the pipe that we saw looked pretty good as far as we got. We're gonna jet out the mud and cut out the root ball."
The sink hole repairs come five weeks after water main break in another Troy neighborhood sent millions of gallons of water flowing onto a street. The break in the century-old cast-iron pipe shut off water supplies for two nearby towns in neighboring Saratoga County.
