The Birmingham Water Works Board (BWWB) has scheduled a public hearing November 9 where customers can comment on proposed rate increases before BWWB announces next year’s budget.
The Birmingham Water Works Board has scheduled a public hearing November 9 where customers can comment on proposed rate increases before BWWB announces next year’s budget.
Local media have reported, and local politicians have publicly bemoaned the fact that roughly 13,000 Birmingham Water Works customers in the metro area have had or continue to deal with billing issues, such as multiple billing or overestimated meter charges, as far back as October 2021. “Everything is just a proposal,” Jackson responded to requests for a copy of the budget. “The board will go through budget workshops and a public hearing before voting on a final budget proposal.”
On the same day as the meeting, WBRC reported on a former employee -who had been fired after accusations of falsifying water meter readings - who claimed that BWWB management was well aware of problems with customer billing in Dec. 2021. Sen. Jabo Waggoner , who has previously criticized the BWWB’s operations, demanded a public release of the audit in an interview on Tuesday with WBRC.
BWWB also voted in this week’s meeting to end their agreements with several local banking institutions and switch to other options outside of the city according to General Manager Michael Johnson.
