Destin Water Users is reviewing a depression on Gulf Shore Drive near Sandpiper Cove. Investigations of the existing 24-inch gravity sewer main, approximately six feet deep, found no leaks or damage that would explain the road issue. Other unknown utilities may be present above the sewer line. The city plans to submit an 811 locate request to identify all underground utilities in the area. This review is happening before planned repaving work, expected around August. Potential causes for the road depression include stormwater issues, sand movement, directional drilling, utility boring, or abandoned pipes. This situation could lead to site investigation, utility locating, and potential repairs or utility work before the repaving project begins. Contractors specializing in utility locating, underground repairs, and site preparation may find opportunities as this situation is investigated and addressed.
