Back yards sink into Irving lake

Demetric Castro stepped into the back yard of his Irving home on Wednesday morning, and his heart sank at what had sunk.

Castro's back yard, along with four other homes nearby, had collapsed seven to eight feet, leaving the houses just a few feet from the new edge. A satellite dish dropped, fences fell and shrubs sagged.

"I don't know how it happened," he said. "I have no idea how it happened or why it happened, and don't know if it's done."

These homes were built in the 1980s along the shore of Vilbig Lake, a private lake in far south Irving off MacArthur Boulevard.

Demetric Castro's satellite dish slipped away from his house when his yard collapsed Wednesday. Eric Kelcher moved in his home in 1996, and said living on the lake has been great. But in 2003 he noticed the ground sinking slightly in his backyard, and discovered that a four-foot-wide storm drain flowing into the lake separated, soaking the ground around it.

Kelcher thinks that drain may be the cause of the latest problem, "based on the amount of dirt that's missing directly around it, and the way the water would travel underground."

Kelcher said City of Irving crews came out six times over the past two years to make repairs.

"I think it just eroded it over time," he said.

City officials said they will examine the drain very closely now.

"Part of our investigation and evaluation will be to look at that - or any situation that we've had - where we've made any type of repairs in any type of public easements," said assistant city manager Cliff Miller.

Homeowners said they understand settling of the soil or heavy rains over time could cause the collapse.
