Deep freeze causes two water main breaks on Tutt Street 2007-02-05 - Tutt & Burkesville Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Ed Waggener. Columbia Utilities General Manager Jim Williams, and Water and Sewer Superintendent Dana Rogers handled traffic control as utilities workers were in the midst of their second water main break on Tutt Street on Monday, February 5, 2007.
