Town of Strasburg closes street due to sinkhole 

there's a BIG difference between a sinkhole and a water main break. 

a sinkhole is a geologic occurrence. What is a sinkhole? it occurs naturally

the hole caused by a water main break is not a natural occurrence. it's a failure of a man-made road caused by the failure of a man-made and installed pipe. 

city folk misuse the term "sinkhole" all of the time when referring to water main breaks, potholes, etc. 

we here in limestone country ought to get it right. don't call the hole caused by a water main break a sinkhole.
