COLUMBUS,Miss. (WCBI) – A large commercial and residential area in East Columbus is without water at this hour and could be into the night. A contractor cut through a water line this afternoon and Columbus Light and Water had to shut off water in the areas along Lehmberg Road from Oleary Lane to Alabama Street and from the intersection of Alabama and Lehmberg to Gaylane. Crews had to dig down seven feet to reach the line and are rushing to make repairs but don’t yet have an estimate as to how long it will take.
