The Columbia County Public Works and Engineering Services Committee (PWES) and Community and Emergency Services (CES) Committee will both meet on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 8:30 a.m. in the auditorium at the Evans Government Center complex.
On the agenda for the PWES Committee is a request to purchase an 140HP Influent Pump from Xylem Water Solutions, USA., Inc. for the Little River Plant. According to the agenda document, the pump needs repair or replacement.
“We are proposing to replace the existing pump with a Flygt pump due to our positive experience with the reliability of Flygt pumps. This replacement is already accounted for in the budget and falls within our allocated funds,” according to the agenda document.

An independent contractor agreement with Bluewater Engineering for Design Services related to the Wrightsboro Road (SR 223) at Louisville Road turn lanes improvement project. According to the agenda document, the county wants to widen the road for the addition of right turn lanes for both northbound and southbound approaches on Louisville Road and on Wrightsboro Road for the westbound approach.
“The intent of the project is to separate the right turning traffic from the left turn/thru movements, which will improve overall safety and alleviate congestion,” said the agenda document.
On the agenda for the CES Committee is a $2,000 donation from Attic Treasures for Columbia County Animal Services.
