On Monday, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin took to social media to address the rumored frontrunner for chief executive officer for Central Alabama Water, Jeff Thompson.

Central Alabama Water has referred the discovery of a second theft to the Birmingham Police Department (BPD). This follows a referral just months ago to BPD for an estimated $2 million in copper thefts.

Rounding out an eventful first three weeks of the new Birmingham Water Works board, general manager Mac Underwood released a statement saying that the utility has fallen victim to a substantial theft of copper from its warehouse.
