A fifth sinkhole has appeared on, or near, Langley Township councillor Rob Rindt’s property.
Naturally, he is worried about the safety of his family and staff on his property.
Rindt grows sod for sports fields, homes and parks on his Langley Township turf farm. He also operates and co-owns the Roots and Wings Distillery on the property.
Across the street, contractors for Trans Mountain are drilling underground for a pipeline expansion.
Rindt said he has a “sinking feeling” when working in his fields.
“My kids are my main concern,” he told Global News. “I don’t want them to be walking and have them disappear into a 30-foot sinkhole.”
Since April, the councillor said he’s discovered five sinkholes, with the most recent nine meters deep on or near his property.
“Falling 30 feet is pretty dangerous, especially for a small kid,” Rindt said.
