Columbia officials say they are not concerned about the Columbia Water system, which provides drinking water to more than 400,000 people across the Midlands. Despite high water levels in the Congaree and Broad rivers, there is no threat to drinking water in Columbia, City Manager Teresa Wilson stressed during a press briefing Monday.

It looks like the Congaree River will crest slightly lower than it did during the “1,000 year flood” of 2015, but some low-lying residences are still feeling impacts. West Columbia Mayor Tem Miles said Monday morning the city is being told that the river has crested at about 30.
