The Signs are Everywhere.

The Signs are Everywhere. From blocks of housing rebuilt painstakingly by volunteers and residents, to the new U.S. Courthouse flanking the river, to a state of the art convention center and new hotel, bookending our vibrant downtown with the New Bohemia Main Street District - this is a time of hope and optimism for our community. With more than 3/4 of a billion dollars invested in our community, the Signs of Progress are all around us.

At the five year mark, this is the time to look forward. This is not only a time to see how much is yet to be done - but also to pursue that vision of a vibrant and urban hometown. One we’re all proud to call home.

Ultraviolet Light Disinfection of Drinking Water at Water Treatment Plants

Addresses: J Avenue Water Treatment Plant at 761 J Ave. NE & Northwest Water Treatment Plant at 7807 Ellis Rd. NW

Description: Recently the Cedar Rapids Water Division added an Ultraviolet Light Disinfection System as an additional level of protection to the current water treatment process. The ultraviolet light kills bacteria and viruses in the water. The Water Division is committed to delivering clean, safe water to Cedar Rapids’ homes now and into the future. The addition of UV System to our existing water treatment process allows the Water Division to effectively address customers’ needs for many years to come.

Project Cost Estimate: $40 million for the installation of UV treatment at both water plants including a new pumping station at the J Avenue Water Treatment Facility
