The first test results of city water didn't reveal any problems, said Jim Knoebel, assistant to Mayor Bob Hall. But a second test is required by state regulations, he said. The results of that test are expected to be available this morning, Knoebel said. Two new traffic lights in Columbus have many motorists confused, and have caused several near misses. A new traffic light on U.S. 31 at Lowell Road was turned on Tuesday morning.
Police say people continue to run the light and they have an officer monitoring the situation.
An Indiana Department of Transportation spokesman says if problem continue his department might install rumble strips to alert motorists to the coming light. Another new traffic light was installed on State Route 46 at Carlos Folger Road near the West Hill Shopping Center. Police say drivers should exercise caution going through both intersections, as it will take time for people to become accustomed to the change. Police are looking for suspects in connection with a string of burglaries in Jefferson County. Last night a generator and 11 hundred dollars worth of items were stolen from Quality Homes.
