Cedar Rapids To Replace Water Tower At Kirkwood Standpipe
The city plans a new standpipe on a hilltop near the current site to replace the 80 foot tower. The project aims for a 1.5 to 2 million gallon capacity, with height about 110 feet, and a total budget around 2.7 million dollars with possible 2019 funding. The move follows U S Cellular removing equipment after contract expiry September 1. Residents call it an eyesore and welcomed change.
