Florida emergency management officials were called to a large sinkhole in the same area where it opened three months ago.
Neighbors told a FOX 13 Tampa Bay reporter they’re thankful the latest sinkhole is smaller than the one that opened in June.
Polk County officials told the TV station this latest sinkhole at Scott Lake Road and Aiden Lane is 50 feet wide and 12 feet deep on private property.
Sinkholes do not pose a threat to district roads or homes.
Early sinkholes in the area were reported to be 75 feet wide.
It opens along Scott Lake Road, just south of Fitzgerald Road in south Lakeland.
At the time, officials believed it might be related to a well being drilled at the site.
It has been filled in and is no longer visible due to vegetation growth, reports The Ledger of Lakeland.

The smaller of the two sinkholes was reported on Friday and is expected to be filled with dirt on Saturday by the contractor who owns the land.
Both sinkhole locations are on property owned by Acres at Scott Lake LLC, a company owned by Lakeland residents Debra and Joseph Kedzuf, according to state records obtained by The Ledger.
Documents submitted to the county say plans for the roughly 10-acre property include a six-home subdivision.
One resident told the newspaper that he did not think there should be construction in the area.
