A water main break that forced evacuations from a Camden County apartment complex has been fixed.
The Heathers Apartments complex in Lindenwold, N.J. was evacuated early Tuesday morning due to a water main break.
A sinkhole formed on Laurel Road as a result of the break, and residents were asked to leave the complex at about 5:30 a.m.
The sinkhole sent mud and sewage into first floor apartments, and created a sinkhole about five feet wide and five feet deep.
Officials said the tenants may have to wait a month before being able to return to their apartments.
