Recent heavy rains may be responsible for the appearance of a sinkhole in the western Wiregrass.

Crews are working to fill in the dirt on Pine Circle. It's located in the Brookdale subdivision of Elba.

The contractor will replace the manhole. It's hoped that this will solve the problem. With Coffee County covered under the FEMA disaster declaration, local officials hope the federal dollars will reimburse them for the repairs which will run into the tens of thousands of dollars.

Homeowners say it's an inconvenience, but at least no one has been hurt. It's hoped that the work on filling in the Elba sinkhole will be completed within the week.
