DALE CITY, Va. -- Chunks of asphalt, rocks, mud, and other debris were left behind after a geyser erupted on Catalpa Court in Dale City.
A water main break Sunday night on the neighborhood street in the Catbrier Heights section near Dale City Volunteer Fire Department Station 10 on Dale Boulevard left at least 50 townhomes without water.
Witnesses said the geyser shot at least 10 feet in into the air. In its wake, a 10-foot wide sinkhole was created where the main ruptured. The cause of the eruption was unknown late Sunday night.
