City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Department of Water Pollution Control

Water Pollution Control (WPC) is responsible for treating wastewater generated by industrial and residential users in Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities. After advanced wastewater treatment, all treated water is discharged to the Cedar River. The diverse user base for Cedar Rapids presents some challenges but also provides cost-effective treatment opportunities for users of WPC services. The WPC facility is an excellent example of the City using cutting edge technology to protect the environment.

WPC can answer questions about treatment costs and what materials can safely be discharged into the sanitary sewer.
