In the case of Columbus, Georgia, singer-songwriterAllen Levi recognized the vital importance of the Chattahoochee River to his hometown forbeauty, recreation, transportation, and industry.But, perhaps its most important use is as a source of safe drinking and household water for a large, thriving community. While Levi wrote the songs of his "Rivertown" album about the city, their lyrics apply equally to the history of the Columbus Water Works - now 100 years rich. For the history of this public utilityin many ways reflects the town's history. Columbus has been described as a "charming city ... located on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River. Most of the city, particularly the older portion,is located on the river's flood plain, but above the normal river floodlevel. To the east, the ground rises sharply from 100 to 200 feet to gently rolling terrain.Just south of the city is the Fort Benning Military Reservation, a permanent Army Post."T hus wrote the late George R. Lowe Jr., a longtime general manager of the Columbus Water Works in a 1953 publication. General Manager George R. Lowe, Jr. Many of the same issues that have faced the leaders of our community through showing section of wooden pipe, which was the years concerned the historical figures of the Columbus Water Works. In many excavated in December 1938 from the cases, the leaders were the same, familiar names that drove industry, banking, the arts, education, and agriculture. intersection of 2nd Avenue and 12th Street. So let's open our ears and eyes, to paraphrase Allen Levi, and learn a little about how Columbus Water Works has helped shape the last 100 years of our river town's story. 0 • PRE-HISTORY "The river runs 300 miles; there's a fallline half way down, and it's there you'll find this home of mine, in a place called Rivertown...

("The Water Sourcebook," a series of classroom activities produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Te nnessee Valley Authority Environmental Education Section, the Georgia Water Wise Council, Sci-trek, and the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service College of Agriculture.) The Chattahoochee River valley, which has been inhabited by people since prehistoric times, was home to a few hundred permanent settlers by around 1819, mostly because it was situated at a good, briskly flowingbody of water that had served Native Americans long beforetheir arrival. "Besides serving as a boating thoroughfare,the Chattahoochee beckoned swimmers to enjoy its coolness on a midsummer's day. Part recreation site, part foodsource, part transportation artery, part trail marker, part spirit, the Chattahoochee was more important to Native Americans than modern man can ever appreciate."

Naturally, land along the rivers was most prized, and that at the head of the Chattahoochee was so valuable it was not included in the giveaway. An Enquirer newspaper article August 9, 1828, described Columbus' streets: "The streets running parallelwith the river are 9 in number, and are all 132feet wide, except Broad, which is 164feet wide. The cross streets are 13 in number, and are 99feet wide. From the width ofthe streets, an elegant and airy appearance is given to the town.

From this spring, a series of pine log pipes of three to fourinches in diameter carried water to Broad Street, by way of Randolph Street, which is now 12th Street.At several intersections, riser pipes with faucets were installed, and people would come with pitchers and buckets, paying five cents per vessel, or the then-existingrate of$25 per thousand gallons undelivered.Those were the days when the weekly bath was a real luxury, and it's likely one tub of water sufficedfor the whole family.

PWS Swimming and Other Whole Body Shellfish Harvesting ........................ SH Fish and Wildlife ........................... F&W Limited Warmwater Fishery ................... LWF Agricultural and Industrial Water Supply ................................ A&I (2) Use classifications apply water quality criteria adopted for particular uses based on existing utilization, uses reasonably expected in the future, and those uses not now possible because of correctable pollution but which could be made if the effects of pollution were controlled or eliminated. Of necessity, the assignment of use classifications must take into consideration the physical capability of waters to meet certain uses. (3) Those use classifications presently included in the standards are reviewed informally by the Department's staff as the need arises, and the entire standards package, to include the use classifications, receives a formal review at least once every three years. Efforts currently underway through local 201 planning projects will provide additional technical data on certain waterbodies in the State, information on treatment alternatives, and applicability of various management techniques, which, when available, will hopefully lead to new decisions regarding use classifications. Of particular interest are those segments which are currently classified for any usage which has an associated Supp.
