Cedar Rapids unveils 21 million flood defense for wastewater plant
Cedar Rapids officials cut the ribbon on a 21 million flood protection system at the Bertram Road and Highway 13 plant. The 2008 flood knocked the plant offline 12 days, with repairs finishing after 90 days to meet federal wastewater standards. FEMA funds cover 15.7 million and 75 percent, with the state providing 2.1 million, and FEMA contributing 40 to 50 million more for repairs. The plant serves Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas with a metro population of 1.8 million.
