Columbia Residents Advised to Detour as Water Works Repairs Underway

Hey there, Columbia! If you’ve been driving around town recently, you might have noticed some changes on Laurel Street. That’s right, the City of Columbia Water Works has officially announced that there will be a detour in place for those who use this route. In a bid to make sure our water systems are functioning at their best, they will be closing a section of Laurel Street for essential repairs.

The closure will affect the segment of Laurel Street between Waverly Street and Two Notch Road. This means if you usually pass through this area, it’ll be a good idea to plan a different route for the time being. The city is working diligently to complete repairs as swiftly as possible, but safety and effectiveness are their top priorities.

As work continues, officials promise to keep the community updated on the progress. Until then, it’s essential for all drivers to keep an eye out for detour signs posted in the area. Staying informed not only helps you avoid any potential bumps in the road but also ensures that you contribute to a safer travel experience for everyone.
