Cedar River flood buyout and inflatable dam drive city mitigation
Cedar River and Dry Run Creek mitigation move forward with a buyout of about 90 flood prone homes and a $7.1 million re engineering plan set to begin in April. Waverly Mayor Charles Infelt notes the 2008 flood elevated river as the city identity. Cherry cites studies after 1999 floods proposing a levee wall or inflatable dam, with the latter completed in 2011 using $4.2 million in federal funds. The inflatable dam lowers upstream water levels, reducing flood insurance costs and removing about 500 properties from the 100 year flood plain, though downstream areas remain unprotected due to cost. State Sen. Rob Hogg and Cedar Rapids officials discuss broader watershed improvements and city leaders emphasize ongoing flood risk mitigation and greenway development.
