COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KETV) — A broken water pipe has left  a big mess for more than a dozen businesses in the historic Park Building in the heart of Council Bluffs. Pam Carter, owner of Stella and Irene’s Cafe and Boutique, said she walked into work on Jan. 14, during sub-zero temperatures, only to find a waterfall coming from the ceiling. Carter said she’s spent the past two weeks picking up what’s left of her business after a pipe burst on the fourth floor of the historic Park Building in downtown Council Bluffs.

The entire historic Park Building is closed and will be for the foreseeable future.
