Spill diverts Cedar River Trail users in Cedar Rapids
A waste water spill near Cedar Lake forced rerouting of cyclists and runners on the Cedar River Trail in northeast Cedar Rapids. About 500 gallons of hot acidic material from furfural leaked from a 4 inch pipe near Fourth Street and Stickle Drive NE. No dead fish yet, but potential delayed impacts and a trail repair by Quaker Oats officials with grounding neutralization planned.
