Columbia-Adair County Utilities District sewer plant photo by Ed Waggener Steve and Bryan Cheatham of the Adair Fence Co. stand in the gaping hole left as a result of the May 2, 2010 flooding which washed over the sewer plant, necessitating major repairs, subsidized by FEMA. The Cheathams are undertaking a temporary patching of the chainlink fence. Later the utilities district will let bids for filling in the cavity and reshaping the hillside, then bids will like be announced for a new fence. The area above is west of the plant. The house at the top of the hill faces Wall Street and the Columbia Cemetery. C-AC Utilities General Manager Lenny is hoping for FEMA assistance on the repairs. The slide damage, and the replacement of a $20,000 Bobcat ruined in flood, are the only remaining deficiencies which need to be corrected to having the plant as good as, or better than at pre-flood.
