Columbia school district to post comprehensive plan online

The Columbia Borough School District Board of School Directors has announced that the district's comprehensive plan will be placed on public display on its website beginning Sept. 9.

Columbia is a Phase 2 district. The Pennsylvania Department of Education requires that all Phase 2 districts post their comprehensive plans for a 30-day public inspection period.

The plan must then be approved by the board and submitted to the department by Nov. 30.

The comprehensive plan serves as the framework to guide various district operations. After reviewing the plan, persons having comments should direct them to the superintendent's office.

PUC WATER CO. HEARING TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 3 IN COLUMBIA

LANCASTERONLINE
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission will hold a public hearing in Columbia on Tuesday, Sept. 3, on the Columbia Water Company's proposal to raise water rates by 21 percent.
The PUC hearing to receive public comment on the proposed rate increase will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Columbia Fire Department Station 801, 137 S. Front St.
On June 13, the PUC voted to investigate the proposed rate increase. The total annual bill for a typical metered residential customer using 48,000 gallons of water a year would increase a total of $77.64, from $367.92 to $445.56.
Columbia Water Co. provides water service to approximately 8,700 customers within Columbia and Mountville boroughs and West Hempfield, Manor and Donegal townships.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the hearings and provide comments.
