Columbia Flood-Prevention Project at Ninth Street and South Main

planned

The City of Columbia, Tennessee, has received $758,000 in federal funding to address chronic flooding issues in the eastern part of the city. The project involves major drainage and infrastructure upgrades at the intersection of Ninth Street and South Main, including replacing deteriorating drainage pipes, relocating water and sewer lines, moving utilities into the public right-of-way, and increasing stormwater capacity to better manage current and future runoff. The upgrades aim to reduce flooding, improve utility reliability, and protect local waterways by reducing trash and debris.
