That sinkhole is actually part of Lake Padgett, a lake that was dredged and that dredge material was used to make it into residential lots. The lake is simply taking back what it had originally been.

Engineers: Let the Land O'Lakes sinkhole reconnect with Lake Padgett
Homes in the area were built on wetlands that engineers believe could be trying to naturally re-connect, underground and now above ground, with Lake Padgett.

“You look at the aerial shots prior to these homes being built and many of these homes were right in the middle of the lake,” Tobin said.

This could also explain why the edges of the hole keep widening, said officials, who added that water will continue to seep into the sinkhole until its stabilized.

“No different than if you are digging in beach sand, and you're close to the ocean,” Albergo said. “You start with a relatively small hole, you get to the water table, and the next thing you know the walls start falling in.”

USF engineers believe reconnecting this hole to the lake is what’s needed to restore balance.
