At this week's Birmingham Water Works meeting, significant changes continue as the newly formed regional board moves forward to make the utility reflect its regional management and service area.
The agenda included a resolution to rename the Birmingham Water Works Board. The board will now be known as The City of Birmingham Regional Water Works, more commonly referred to as, or doing business as, Central Alabama Water.
The agenda item read, "Request Board to review and consider approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham."
