Crews repair pipe under sinkhole at Maize South High School

Crews have installed a new section of storm pipe at Maize South High School, according to school officials, where underground erosion led to an apparent sinkhole last week.

The erosion caused part of a drive to sink under a school bus that was parked at Maize South, at 37th and Tyler Road, on Thursday. The sinkhole was about 7 feet across and 6 feet deep, the district said.

Workers removed the broken section of pipe, as well as loose soil and debris, according to the district’s website Tuesday. They will fill the hole before covering it with a new asphalt patch.
