Four homes were evacuated as a precaution due to the leak. “The residents are being cared for by family and friends,” says a spokesperson for the Utrecht Safety Region (VRU). A sinkhole had formed, and there was a danger that water would end up in the gas pipeline. Water in a gas pipe can cause power outages and damage to equipment, such as the gas meter.
