Don't overlook the fact the Coralville Reservoir is 6.39 feet higher today than it was on 7/18 (688.57 vs 694.96). The last time it was at 694 was in April and we know what happened after that in June. We need to get the new target lake level at maximum of 675 not 683 for flood control. And 670 feet would probably be a better maximum for the Coralville Lake.
Also, the city needs to do a study on how the development both up and downstream from our neighborhood has impacted our neighborhood and if this development has made our neighborhood more prone to flooding.
If you haven't completed the Buyout Survey from the city, please do so online to expedite it's delivery.
The City of Iowa City has put together a very simple questionnaire to collect info for the Notice of Interest for the buyout. The City mailed this to you late today (Wednesday) afternoon. You can fill the form online as well by going to www.icgov.org/buyout .
The City of Iowa City has also teamed up with the Greater Iowa City Association of Homebuilders to offer free rebuilding estimates. If you wish to have a free estimate, please check the appropriate box in the buyout info questionnaire. Filling out the form will take less than two minutes.
The info you enter goes directly to Steve Long, senior urban planner in the city's Planning Department.
