Show Notes
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin criticizes Central Alabama Water for removing fluoride from drinking water, accusing them of prioritizing politics and cost-cutting over public health. However, records reveal that two of the three treatment plants stopped adding fluoride before the new board was formed due to maintenance failures. Woodfin, who is suing to reinstate the old board, blames former leaders for not addressing or reporting these issues. Central Alabama Water responds that they requested repairs but had limited budget control, and only recently discovered that one plant was still functioning. The system also suffers from significant water loss due to leaks, a problem that has persisted for years. Tensions remain high as both sides point fingers, leaving residents without fluoride for an extended period.
