A few thunderstorms will accompany the front farther south across the mid-Atlantic and Tennessee Valley. Behind the front, a much cooler day is in store from Detroit to Chicago, where afternoon high temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees lower than the previous few days. Spotty thunderstorms will impact Florida, but much of the Southeast will remain dry, which is good news for the Carolinas.

Schafer The Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. SouthCar- olina's capital city had too much water. Now, officials are racing to make sure it has enough. A canal that serves as the main source of drink- ing water for about half of the Columbia water sys- tem's 375,000 customers collapsed in two places fol- lowing historic rainfall and flooding over the weekend, sending contractors scram- bling to build a rock dam to plug the holes while Na- tional Guard helicopters dropped giant sandbags in the rushing water. Water from the ca- nal normally flows di- rectly into the reservoir at the city's water treat- ment plant. But with the water level falling because of the levee breach, work- ers were forced to place or- ange pumps on the banks of the canal to pump water directly into the reservoir. And if that wasn't enough, the city had plans to pump water directly from the nearby Broad River. Officials sought to beat back rampant rumors of an imminent water shortage. "The system is running and it is running strong," Columbia Mayor Steve Ben- jamin told reporters. Meanwhile, Gov. Nikki Haley issued a terse warn- ing to thousands of people in low-lying areas near the coast to evacuate before a mass of water rumbling to- ward the ocean floods some places for up to two more weeks. She asked people watch- ing on television to call rel- atives who may have a false sense of security after sur- viving hurricanes, calling the second round of ex- pected flooding "a differ- ent kind of bad." She said the standing water could last up to 12 days. "We have thousands of people that won't move. And we need to get them to move," she said. "They don't need to be sitting in flooded areas for 12 days." Back in Columbia, city officials urged residents to conserve water. And when they do use it, they have to boil it at least one min- ute. Restaurants are offer- ing bottled water and serv- ing meals on paper plates to avoid washing dishes. And many people often make daily trips to their local grocery stores to stock up on water. "It's easy to conserve be- cause you can't really use (the water)," said 26-year- old Laura Reinman, who was pushing a shopping cart with two gallon jugs of water at a Publix grocery store just across the street from the canal. The city is like hundreds of others along the East Coast and in the Midwest that have been told to fix their aging infrastructure. Columbia is under orders from the U.S. Environmen- tal Protection Agency to fix its sewage treatment plant and sewer pipes to reduce overflows that can contam- inate waterways. Those or- ders include spending $1 million on projects to re- duce flooding along Gills Creek, one of the areas dev- astated by record rainfall and flooding.
