Columbia Water originally requested a $999,900 increase in operating revenue, and a proposed increase in customer costs of 6.3% in the Columbia district and 22.9% in the Marietta district, according to PUC. The approved operating revenue increase is $971,180.

Columbia mayor urges council to adopt nuisance ordinance | Community News | lancasteronline.com
When: Columbia Council meeting, Jan. 9.
What happened: A recent hours-long standoff between a Columbia resident and police officers prompted Mayor Leo Lutz to urge council members to adopt a separate nuisance ordinance to make it easier to evict residential tenants.
Background: Police arrested Charles Harris Jan. 12 after he barricaded himself into a home to avoid receiving a warrant for a firearms violation. Harris shot at a police dog, who was not injured, before he was apprehended.
More: Police and code officers previously visited the address in the 300 block of Cherry Street, which is a rental home, Lutz said.
Quotable: "There has to be a way to stop this from happening," Lutz said. "We go back to the same places time and time again." The mayor estimated that 50% of borough residences are rental properties.
