Cedar Rapids considers next step for water plant
Cedar Rapids officials say nearly 14 million dollars in improvements are needed to extend the life of the 89 year old J Avenue NE water treatment plant. The 10 year, five phase project aims to modernize aging equipment and improve solids removal and softening. The plan could raise rates 2 to 6 percent annually and the second phase is budgeted at 13.8 million dollars with work slated to begin May 1 and finish by July 31, 2020.
