To Columbia Water Customers located at Trenholm Rd from Rockbridge Rd
to Lakecrest Dr, all of Lakecrest Dr, and portions of Arcadia Rd and
Rockbridge Rd:


The City of Columbia advises all water customers at Trenholm Rd from Rockbridge
Rd to Lakecrest Dr, all of Lakecrest Dr, and portions of Arcadia Rd and
Rockbridge Rd: , located in Richland about a water service interruption while
necessary water line repairs are underway.


Columbia Water staff is pursuing planned work on its water line located near Trenholm Rd
from Rockbridge Rd to Lakecrest Dr, all of Lakecrest Dr, and portions of
Arcadia Rd and Rockbridge Rd: . Residents in the affected area will experience
water service interruption or lower water pressure while staff works to restore normal
service. Once water is restored, customers in the affected area are advised to
vigorously boil their water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking.
Any ice made from water not boiled should not be used. Please follow the same
precautions if you are in the affected area and have experienced a loss of water
and/or pressure, or may be experiencing discolored water.


This advisory would remain in effect until Columbia Water Laboratory issues a repeal
notification. Columbia Water staff is presently working to correct the problem as soon
as possible. We appreciate your patience during this necessary work.
 

If you experience discolored water after the repeal notification, please run your taps
for 2-3 minutes.


Please contact the Customer Service team at (803) 545-3300 if your water is still
discolored after flushing your plumbing so crews can be dispatched to flush the lines
in your area.
