Cedar Rapids Water Usage Steady Amid High Demand
Cedar Rapids city officials report water production at 53 million gallons daily from vertical wells with Cedar River levels aiding recharge. Industry drives most demand at 70 percent, while new Cedar River Paper Co. and IES Utilities plant add about one million gallons daily. A new 20 million gallon plant opens next month and a second horizontal collector well becomes operational this fall. The city monitors usage as reservoirs stay full and plans to conserve only if a mechanical failure occurs.
