Some people in the Clay area with a "681" phone exchange are experience an outage of their landline service. A customer service representative said there is a main cable break. She said the estimated date for all to have service again is July 4. Some residents may have their service return earlier, she said. Clay News was not able to find a contact number with AT&T media relations or public relations.

Signs have appeared in Steeplechase, Cosby Lake and Cosby Gardens. City employees and council members said they don't know who put the signs out and don't know anything about "Project Cosby Lake."
Donna Key, president of the Friends of Cosby said she doesn't know anything about the signs, either.
City Clerk Bobby Christmas said he contacted Scott Watkins with the Boy Scouts, who are planning to do some improvements at the lake, and they didn't know about it.
City leaders discussed taking the signs down and then waiting to see who contacts them.

At a recent council meeting, the Cahaba River Society explained to the Clay City Council and some City of Clay Planning and Zoning Commissioners how to design development while protecting the river. These were their suggestions:
- using asphalt that allows water to seep through to underground
- lessening excavation
- increasing green space while lowering lot size
- eliminating curbs so water goes right into vegetating area all around the concrete or asphalt area
- put parking spaces among trees
- adding lowered ground areas with vegetation in parking areas to collect water and allow it to soak into the ground
- putting in a pool area to collect water runoff, to be used in irrigation, keeping the water on site.
