Earlier this week, experts provided an update on the Lake Purdy Dam and Reservoir located in northern Shelby County to the board of Central Alabama Water. The update, which emphasized that the dam is safe, came as media reports clearly aimed to undermine the new board, leading to questions about the insurance policies in effect and the new board's efforts to review the original plan, budgeted at $28 million.

The new Central Alabama Water Board announced a special meeting for Tuesday to discuss where they are in the process of hiring a new CEO and consider retaining two consultants to examine Lake Purdy Dam.
