Sewage Leak Near Ellis Boulevard prompts swift Cedar Rapids response
A 12-inch sanitary sewer line on Ellis Boulevard at 18th Street NW fractured early Tuesday releasing an estimated 20 000 gallons of sewage into a ditch and then the Cedar River. City officials closed a nearby lift station, hired a contractor, and rerouted traffic as the pipe was repaired by 3 p.m. Environmental officials called the spill minimal to the river and noted the line is about 40 years old with plans for upgrade.
