# Street Gutters / Storm Water, 17 Crichton Terrace, Canterbury 8022, New Zealand

Christchurch · filed 3 February 2025 · report 5807379
https://www.chch.live/report/5807379

> A sinkhole has formed behind the street gutter. Water spills out the gutter and disappears down hole, eroding soil under gutter, road and adjacent retaining wall. During recent heavy rain the gutter blocked with leaves and approximately 2 l/s was disappearing down the hole. Presumably the water finds it's way into the storm water pipe below somehow.
