Water from that pipe worked its way down Arapahoe Road and underground, to where the sinkhole eventually formed about a block down the road.The sinkhole wasn't too deep but certainly not stable enough to allow traffic on it. Procession brings teen's casket to Aurora Police headquarters Crews had to cut through the pavement to start repairing the damaged pipe before they could get to the sinkhole."Figure out what was the cause of the break and, at that point, we're going to cut a section of pipe out and splice in a new section of pipe.
