SINKHOLE
d) Sinkhole Being Repaired at St. Mary's College in Moraga
On April 10, 2017, staff was notified of a sink hole at St. Mary's College in Moraga. Staff
from the Collection System Operations (CSO) Division responded immediately and
redirected flows and secured the sinkhole location - no bypassing was required.
After investigation by both CSO and Engineering staff, it was determined that the sinkhole
likely was due to a localized failure of the 27-inch sewer and possibly the connection to a
junction structure. The sinkhole is located in a parking lot used for additional parking for
the ball fields for the College. Because time is of the essence, Engineering has directed
Cratus Inc., contractor for the Walnut Creek Phase 11 project, to perform the repairs. The
contractor has mobilized its forces and commenced the repair work this week. Costs are
anticipated to reach up to $80,000 and will be paid for under a change order with the
contractor.
