The City of Columbia is currently experiencing a higher than normal demand for water. In hopes to avoid any need to enact water restrictions, the City is requesting that its water customers voluntarily minimize non-essential use, particularly during afternoon and evening peak demand periods. Examples of non-essential use include such activities as lawn irrigation, car washing, filling swimming pools or spas, and using a hose to clean off driveways and sidewalks.
Meetings will be held on Monday, July 13, 2009, 11:30am and Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 5:30pm at 3907 Ensor Ave. (Eau Claire Print Building)
Planning staff will present a draft proposal for mixed-use zoning and an overlay district along the
North Main Street corridor (Elmwood to Craven) to help implement the North Columbia master plan.
(Both meetings are the same format and information). For more information, contact: Lucinda Statler, City of Columbia, at 545-3215.
