Derecho Damage
Minor property damage sustained during debris removal performed by the City or its contractors such as lawn or sod will need to be repaired by the property owner. Free compost and mulch are available while supplies last at the Linn County Solid Waste Agency. Root balls or uprooted stumps that left large holes in the right-of-way will be back-filled by the City’s contractor.
- Private Property: You can report more significant private property damage sustained during debris removal performed by the City or its contractors (pavement or structural damage) to the City’s Risk Services Division: Phone: (319) 286-5125 | Email: J.Lynch@cedar-rapids.org
- Right-of-Way: The Public Works Department (319-286-5778) will be reaching out to property owners directly who sustained damage to driveway aprons or sidewalks in the right-of-way, either during the derecho or subsequent clean-up efforts.
