A large sinkhole opened on Sixth Avenue between 67th and Senator streets Tuesday.
A city DEP spokesperson said a sewer line break created the hole.
“Water was temporarily turned off to some homes while repairs are being made today,” the spokesperson said. “We will continue working on the sewer repair but we don’t expect this to cause a significant impact to residents while we complete the work.”
Con Edison was also at the scene to work on its infrastructure.
DEP later said water service had been restored to all but one home by 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and to the last home by Wednesday morning.
Sewer repairs were completed Thursday and final roadway repair and restoration continues.
