Carl Bussey, Surrey County Council's chair of the Strategic Coordination Group for the incident, said assessments on properties could continue but that residents would only be able to return home when buildings were "deemed structurally safe".
Tandridge District Council said on Thursday that the sinkhole remains a "significant incident" and the council is working alongside Surrey County Council and other agencies to "resolve the situation as quickly as possible".
In a separate statement, a spokesperson for Surrey County Council said: "Residents who have been displaced are being supported by Tandridge District Council through their housing teams, and are being (and will be) contacted proactively throughout the incident.
Ms Lewis's property in William Way was one of 30 that were evacuated after Surrey County Council declared a major incident and put in place a 100m cordon near Godstone High Street due to the sinkhole.
Local MP Claire Coutinho also said local businesses may be able to apply for a reduced council tax rate while the issue is ongoing.
