Staging area: Water line replacement project 2012-03-11 - Old Rock Quarry, Russell Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Southern Backhoe of Campbellsville, KY, has already stored water main pipe at the Old Rockquarry on Russell Road to use in the Columbia/Adair County Utility District's project to improve water quality on Russell Road, part of Jamestown Street, the Wright Drive, College Park, Miller Avenue, Young Street, Williams Street, and the Lindsey Wilson Water Tower. Robbie Gist of Gradyville, KY will be the spread boss on the project. Not too many decades ago, on a sunny day like today Sunday, March 11, 2012, fishing would have been the order of the day here. Before Eighty-eight Yates bought the old quarry and filled it in, there was a large lake here, a favorite spot for fishing. Most fished from the bank, but there was usually a small boat or two at the waters edge, and, for a time, it seems, there was a fishing pier. Maybe not. -EW Permalink | Comments?
