The Iowa City City Council will hold a public hearing during its meeting March 6 to approve plans for the Iowa River water main crossings project.
If plans are approved, the city will proceed with installing two new water mains under the Iowa River.
The new water mains would replace those that were exposed and damaged during the 2008 flood.
City officials estimate the construction cost will be roughly $290,000. The project will be funded with FEMA reimbursements and water-revenue funds.
