The sides are very smooth – definitely man-made. Pretty interesting! **** ** ** Most definitely there is abundant groundwater in the area. I’ve certainly heard that from several of your neighbors. That doesn’t appear to be the cause of this particular issue.**** ** ** We are going to take a closer look at the sink reported by Mr. Ranzenbach as well. **** ** ** Ron Kessack Interim Asst.
