COLUMBUS, Ind. — Another effort is being made to bring city water to the Garden City Mobile Home Community.
If funds can be obtained through the Indiana Office of Community and Urban Affairs and other sources, a 4,750 foot water main will be installed that will eventually serve residents of the mobile home community, located off State Road 11. The grant money being sought consists of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars that are administered by the state.
The plan is to begin the 12-inch water main just east of the existing Water Treatment Plant No. 2 at 1020 Spears St., interim Columbus City Utilities director Keith Reeves said. A number of wells that supply the mobile home community with water are located in that area.
The new water main will be placed behind the Garden City homes located on the west side of Jonesville Road through what is now an agricultural field, Reeves said. Plans call for the water main to run along a future extension of Southside Drive that will extend to Garden Street, according to the project description.
