Hello Columbus:

Come back here about 6 p.m. today. We’re broadcasting the regular meeting of the Columbus City Council. The meeting has been moved to Donner Center because the elevator at city hall is not working.

This is the first council meeting since the city learned a well was contaminated with fecal material and ordered residents to boil drinking water.

In the meantime, read what happened on Friday when five test samples that were taken from a well at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fairgrounds tested positive for contamination and what city officials are saying today.
