BACKGROUND INFORMATION 
Columbia Water & Light is continuing to study ways to serve electric
loads and improve reliability for the southwestern part of the city.
This project involves adding transmission lines to connect the new
Millcreek substation on Peach Tree Drive with some of the existing
substations. 
In October 2010 Columbia Water & Light staff presented some initial
“Option A” routes for this project to the public. At a City Council
work session conducted in November 2010, Council directed Columbia Water
& Light staff to study alternative transmission line options for the
project. This additional transmission line route study is being referred
to as “Option B”. The next step for “Option B” is to solicit written
feedback. The feedback collected at the September open house meeting
will be tabulated and used in the "Option B" evaluation matrix so
another report can be made to the City Council. A formal public hearing
presenting the “Option A” and “Option B” studies, where public comments
will be heard and recorded, will be scheduled later in the spring of
2012 upon the direction of the City Council.
 
NOTE: Property owners along "Option A" and "Option B" routes will be
notified by a letter about this meeting within the next few days.
