Cedar Rapids to seek 5 million bonds for sewer upgrade plan
Cedar Rapids proposes 5 million general obligation bonds to fund a two year sanitary and storm sewer upgrade program. City engineer Richard Ransom outlined a 690000 study and 140000 pump installations to prevent basement backups while priorities across four city quadrants are set. The plan targets 66.7 miles of problem sewers with storms costing about 3.27 million and includes ditch and street fixes. SUMPS backs alternative recommendations and a Jan 13 working session will review both sets.
