(WDAY TV) - It appears more homeowners in Richland County will be forced to buy insurance with changes to the flood plain. The maps are done, but they still need final approval from county commissioners.

That will likely happen December 2nd. The maps will then go into effect two weeks later.

Leaders aren't sure how many more homes will need insurance. The changes increase the flood plain by one percent, mostly affecting homes along the Red and Wild Rice rivers.
