Residents from the 124th to 125th and Wentworth have had to boil their water to ensure its safety ever since a "wash out" (a sudden erosion of soft soil or other support surfaces by a gush of water) caused the road to collapse creating a large sink hole nearby. The collapse occurred early on the morning of November 11 in the West Pullman community.
