Quick action stops leak, keeps water flowing to South Adair Two photos accompany this article By Joe Hare, Superintendent, Columbia Gas Department, Columbia Utilities Commission Yesterday afternoon, Thursday, August 30, 2007, at 3:15pm CT, an observant and quick-thinking employee of Columbia Utilities discovered a water leak on an 8" Cast Iron Main on Industrial Park Road while reading meters. Within minutes a repair crew was on the way as this is a major feed line for a large portion of Southern Adair County as well as parts of the city. It was determined that the repair would have to be made with the line maintaining full pressure due to extreme importance to be able keep the water flowing to all customers. As you can see in the accompanying pictures Chris Kerns and Steve Breeding were fighting the pressure of the water to install the repair clamp. The job was completed in a little less than 2 hours from the time we discovered the leak. At times Chris and Steve were working in water up to their necks to complete this job in a timely manner. All this dedicaton paid off with top state award The dedication of the employees is one of the reasons that just yesterday August 29th that Columbia Utilities Commission was awarded the "Wooded Bucket Award" by the Kentucky Rural Water Association at their annual conference at the Galt House in Louisville. Columbia was selected the winner of this award from among 10 finalist from across the state. A photo of the award is inset in the picture, with more to come on this award in the future.
