CEDAR FALLS – The Cedar River is expected to crest at 92.2 feet at 7 p.m. Friday. At that level, water will flood Tourist Park and Island Park, reach the southeast corner of Gateway Park and cover Riverside Drive south of Beech Street.
As of 4:28 p.m. Wednesday, July 30, the Cedar River was at 88.33 feet according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. At this level, water covers the bike path at George Wyth Park and starts to approach the north and south legs of Cottage Row Road south of Snag Creek.
The city of Cedar Falls is continuing to monitor river level projections and work on flood preparedness. Cedar Falls Public Safety reminds residents to stay away from floodwater and to never drive through a flooded roadway. Abide by any posted signs or barriers regarding potential road or parking closures.
City staff will continue to monitor the river levels and provide press releases as needed. Flood information can be found on the city’s webpage at http://www.cedarfalls.com/812/Flood-Information. Residents can also monitor and view the current river level at water.noaa.gov/gauges/CEDI4.
