Water outage due to valve installation in College and University
area									
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - Columbia Water and Light will install
additional water main valves on College Avenue from Ashland Road to
University Avenue and along University Avenue from College Avenue to
William Street on Wednesday, March 23, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The
construction work will cause water customers in this area to be without
water service. Customers will be individually notified with door hangers
on Monday, March 21, if their water service will be disrupted.
Installing more valves on these water service lines will help isolate
any water main breaks that might occur in the future.  	

During the installation of the water main valves along College Avenue,
Columbia Water and Light staff will work in the northbound lane of the
street. Traffic will be restricted to one lane from Bouchelle Avenue to
Wilson Avenue while the work is being completed. Motorists are urged to
use caution while driving in this area.
	
After the project is completed, the water lines will be flushed.
Customers in the area might notice a slight discoloration in their
water. Those that experience this problem should let the water run for a
few minutes until the discoloration has disappeared. The water will
continue to be safe to drink.
