Valhalla’s Residents Voice their Concern about a Water Leak

Residents in Valhalla’s Aero Street are growing increasingly concerned about a water leak that has been left unattended since September.

Fears are rising that this leak could lead to yet another sinkhole, a problem that has plagued the neighborhood for years.

Jane James, a resident of Aero Street, expressed her concerns, pointing out that cracks in the road have been spreading, indicating a possible sinkhole formation. Despite lacking concrete proof, residents are alarmed by the situation. They have attempted to draw attention to the issue, with some even considering fixing the leak themselves. However, legal complications have prevented them from taking matters into their own hands.

Alta Bron, another resident, highlighted the impact of existing sinkholes on local traffic, making certain routes inaccessible due to road closures. Residents are worried that their street might suffer a fate similar to Alaric Road, which has remained unrepaired for seven years. The increasing depressions in Aero Street are a cause for concern, raising fears not only of sinkholes but also of potential potholes forming.

Residents have raised these concerns with their ward councilor, marking the complaints as requiring urgent attention on September 26. They understand the challenges faced by municipal services, including the impact of striking workers. However, they emphasize that addressing the leak promptly could prevent a much larger and more costly issue in the future.

The situation has left residents feeling neglected, describing their neighborhood as the “forgotten neighborhood of Centurion.” The potential consequences of the unattended water leak are not just limited to the road; they could affect residents’ homes directly. The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated, with residents hoping for swift action to prevent further deterioration in their community.
