<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">City of Columbia Water & Light is holding an interested parties meeting from 5 to 6 p.m. on Monday, July 30 in City Hall room 1C, 701 E. Broadway, to discuss a proposed replacement of transformer and switchgear lineup located at Harmony Branch Substation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Harmony Branch Substation is located at 2851 Bernadette Drive and provides electric power to northeast Columbia. The transformer and switchgear lineup, identified as Harmony Branch T2, are nearing 40 years in age and have been identified by Water & Light substation personnel as candidates for replacement. Funding for this project will come from 2015 electric bond funds approved for capital improvements. </span></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction is expected to take up to six months and begin in the fall of 2019. No customer service interruptions are anticipated due to construction. The estimated cost is $850,000.</span></div>
