The Wildwood Park pipeline is not under pressure, and all of the leakage is contained within the hole, Nelson said. Some sewage might escape into the sinkhole, but it flows right back into the pipeline. The sinkhole is about 10 feet deep and is about 300 yards below Paradise Falls Paradise Falls is a weekly soap opera shown nationally on the Showcase channel in Canada, starting in 2001.

The sinkhole might have collapsed the pipe, which is 12 to 15 feet underground, he said.

That pipeline was replaced and has been holding since Friday. Nelson said the Wildwood Park sinkhole was reported a few days ago, but city contractors were busy with the other storm-related projects. The sewage was not spotted in the hole until late Monday. The new pipeline has a much smaller capacity and is not leaking sewage into the park or any waterway. Signs have been posted to warn people away from the site. Unlike the first sewer-pipe break, work crews will have an easy approach to this spill because it is beside a park access road, Nelson said. Meanwhile, work on the Moorpark Road sinkhole, which was about 25 feet deep, should be completed sometime today. Crews performed curb and gutter work Tuesday and should finish paving and reopen the road today.
