Show Notes
Central Alabama Water faces financial struggles, leading to mass layoffs of over 100 employees. The utility aims to save $20 million annually and avoid a 10% rate increase. The decision, rooted in legacy issues from the Birmingham Water Works Board, has sparked outrage among city leaders and former workers. Severance details and a new budget for 2026 will be presented to the board next week, while community groups rally to support the affected employees.
