Nearly 650 homes hit in Coralville/Iowa City by this summer's flooding
September 22, 2008
Coralville and Iowa City are working on ways to
install future protections so that the nearly 600 homes that aren't being bought-out after this summer's flooding (of about 650 that were badly damaged) won't be hit hard by future floods. Floodwalls will likely be a major component, and those will probably include both
flap gates and
sluice gates.
