Commission wrestles with red water fix at city meeting
City Commission debated a $22 million plan for Columbia Avenue water treatment and pumping upgrades to cut red water. Commissioner Joe Lewis pressed for clear cost estimates, questioning whether the project would truly reduce red water and suggesting lower rates might be preferable. City Manager Rothe said treatment would lower red and blackish water to a typical city level, while Commissioner Mary Lord framed it as progress despite differing views on the ultimate impact.
