EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) is continuing to monitor the area affected by the sinkhole at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Chestnut Street. Because we cannot begin a comprehensive assessment and repair effort until levels fall below 23 feet, we cannot yet offer any significant update on the timeline for the repair. However, EWSU is actively performing preliminary work in the area to ensure that we can mobilize as soon as river conditions allow.
As part of our commitment to protecting critical infrastructure, we are also taking proactive steps to safeguard buried utilities near the site.
We understand the community’s concern and appreciate the public’s patience as we navigate this challenge. We are committed to transparency and will provide additional information as it becomes available. We anticipate offering a more significant update on the repair timeline next week once conditions permit a more detailed evaluation of the situation.
