Water Service Disruption
For Immediate Release
Columbia, SC – November 30, 2023 – Customers served by the Columbia Canal Water Treatment plant may experience low pressure or water service disruption while Columbia Water makes repairs to a 42-inch diameter water main adjacent to the Columbia Canal Water Treatment Plant beginning Tuesday, December 5 at 2 am.

The service area experiencing the interruption of service will be in the vicinity of the Columbia Canal Water Treatment Plant located at 300 Laurel St.
