Waterloo borrows $3 million to rebuild floodwalls
March 21, 2008

The city of Waterloo, Iowa, will be borrowing $3 million from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to rebuild the city's floodwalls along the Cedar River. The money for the dam and floodwall improvements will be tied to brownfield improvements being conducted around a former meat-packing plant in the city.

Most floodwalls include flap gates for local storm drainage, and many dams are now making use of upstream level-control gates in addition to conventional sluice gates in order to control water levels.
