Cedar Rapids lake level rise and Cedar River flow outlook
The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports the lake peaking at 807 feet above sea level with 250 acres, potentially rising to 820 feet and 410 acres. May 31 river flow at the Eighth Avenue bridge was 800 cfs, down from 5,010 a year earlier, far below the 74 year average of 3,262 cfs. Officials warn flow could dip below 500 cfs this summer, necessitating releases from Pleasant Creek to sustain Iowa industrial withdrawals.
