Cedar Rapids upgrades cut pollution and fuel growth

Cedar Rapids plans to upgrade its southeast wastewater facility to curb emissions and boost capacity for about 1.8 million population equivalents. Mayor Tiffany O’Donnell said the project represents the city’s future as it supports industrial growth and regional cooperation with Marion Hiawatha Robins Palo and Linn County. The plant, built in 1980 at 7525 Bertam Rd SE near the Cedar River, faced 2008 flood damage and was protected with a wall and pump station in 2014. Design began in 2015 with ongoing talks on rates and financing with industrial users and contributing cities.
