Greensboro Sinkhole Mystery | Winston–Salem News

A major sinkhole erupted in East Greensboro after a decades-old, still-pressurized water main burst near South Benbow Road and Perkins Street — the city’s oldest pipes finally gave way. Crews restored water service quickly but are now repairing roads and underground infrastructure. With over 1500 miles of aging pipes and more than 180 annual breaks, this rare event (last seen in 2007) highlights how far infrastructure tracking has come — now with 3,000+ mapped miles. If you spot leaks or odd water smells, report it 24/7 to Water Resources — early alerts prevent bigger disasters.
