Water for the schools, and more: Crossing Russell Creek 2009-11-20 - Russell Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo Adair County Water District photos. Eugene Harness of Garrison Construction Co., Inc, is operating the excavator as the 12" Columbia Western Bypass waterline is strung across Russell Creek. The crossing is complete at this time, ACWD General Manager said. The creek crossing is done with pipe constructed of ductile iron with sealed concrete lining. The lengths of pipe are joined with ball and socket joints, which give the pipe movement similar to that of the elbow. The slight flexibility mitigates possibilty of damage from rocks and logs in the creek. An additional safety measure comes as, over time,the pipe buries itself in the bottom of the creek. It's not indestructible, but is virtually so, Mr. Stone said. The pipe will transport water from the Adair County Water Treatment Plant to the Adair County School Campus and to a new one million gallon water tank at Holladay Place, which, in turn, will supply water to the fast-growing South Adair County market.
