A huge hole in the ground may look like a sinkhole, but it's actually a water main break.

Ground gave way on 150th Avenue at 62nd Street North in Clearwater on Wednesday near High Point Elementary School.

The school sent out a message to parents warning them about the problem.

The sheriff's office and campus police will help direct traffic before and after school for a few days.

 It is a deep hole 8 feet wide and about 15 feet deep in the center of the road near PAR and PTEC Clearwater.
