Vast Lake Tapped for City's Water
Geologists claim an underground lake or moving subterranean water course lies beneath Waterloo, stretching toward Wisconsin. A 1400 foot artesian well is planned at Cedar River Park to access nearly pure water under immense pressure, with a large drill rig and steam boiler set to drive the operation as home demand grows.

Builders see big opportunity amid Marshalltown housing shortage
The Times-Republican reports Marshalltown faces a housing shortage with excess demand for rentals. A two‑issue “For rent” ad drew 89 responses from people seeking a six‑room cottage. The paper suggests investors with money and ideas could build small cottages or bungalows to sell, noting families live in light housekeeping rooms today.
