Robert Flowers speaks 2012-01-13 - 109 Grant Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Robert Flowers who had advocated at Adair Fiscal Court for the Columbia/Adair County Utilities' big-as-a-percentage, miniscule in terms of actual extra money rate increase, told the board that he fully appreciates how some might feel about the increase, but said it's his feeling that it's simply a matter of education for a better understanding of how the system works. He and other members of the board agreed with General Manager Lenny Stone and Assistant GM Bradley Miller that the utility's public education efforts be expanded. And, while the tours of the system have always been available, publicity about them will be increased. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
