Virden Creek Sewer Proposal Aims to Eliminate Thirteen Bridges
A petition from about 200 property owners prompts Waterloo city action on a Virden creek storm sewer district. The plan calls for a six to ten foot diameter line from Fourth Street to a Cedar River outlet, draining land and replacing thirteen bridges with a $15,000 bridge reduction. Property values may rise sharply, and a vote by residents will decide the sewer district.
