COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa [KETV] – A hidden sinkhole has force residents of an apartment building in Council  Bluffs to evacuate the premises. Some action has been taken by the city, but very little is known about the sinkhole just yet. City officials said one building at the Parkwild apartment complex has been posted, meaning there’s a notice to take action, and so far eight apartments have been fully evacuated and all utilities in the building have been shut down, but it’s something no resident ever expected to hear.

The city of Council Bluffs said they were first notified about a potential issue late Friday. On Tuesday morning crews found the sinkhole and immediately tagged the building. Officials said it’s unclear just how large the hole is, but from what they could see initially, it could be close to the size of two cars. The city said the sinkhole appears to run along the exterior of the building and underneath a portion of the ground level.

Residents weren’t testing their luck; however, some even used windows to evacuate. The city of Council Bluffs said that after their initial search of the property on Tuesday, no other buildings at the Parkwild apartment complex are currently in danger.
