The flood gate on the west end of the dam on the Cedar River in Waverly was built in 1915 according to Utility records. This 1988 project was its 1st major repair. Kehe Construction already had their coffer dam and the make over was in progress at the time of the photo taken from the riverbank in Kohlmann Park.
