The attorney general says the Birmingham Water Works Board was abolished Wednesday before it voted to accept the city’s purchase offer.
The offer to buy the utility is an attempt to block a new law the governor signed Wednesday that would restructure that board and lessen Birmingham’s influence over it.
The new law restructures the Birmingham Water Works Board as a regional board and reduces the city of Birmingham’s influence.
The city of Birmingham is asking a federal judge to stop the state from changing membership on the Birmingham Water Works Board and reducing the city’s influence over the utility.
The BWW general manager said Birmingham Water Works customers will not experience service disruptions, and ongoing infrastructure improvements will continue after the Legislature’s passage of a bill to dissolve the current water board and set up a regional board.
Local officials cry foul as bill to reduce Birmingham’s appointments to the board passes; legislators say it’s needed because of longstanding billing, pricing and management issues.
