Fairfield, Ohio - Butler County Road Engineers are trying to deal with a sinkhole that has formed at the intersection of Hamilton-Mason Road and Morris Road in Fairfield Township.

They say a water main break has caused the sinkhole sometime early Saturday. They've placed road closure signs and barricades at the intersection to turn motorists away. Engineers say the intersection will be closed until repairs are made sometime in the next week.

The fire department says the sinkhole has taken a fire hydrant out of service and the hole will have an impact on safety services and convenience to residents in the area.

It's recommended that if you drive through the area that you seek an alternate route.
