Birmingham Water Fight Resurfaces | Huntsville News

Birmingham activist Eric Hall is suing to restore control of the city’s water system, challenging the state’s restructuring of the Birmingham Water Works Board into Central Alabama Water — a move he says was done unlawfully without city consent. Named in the suit are the new utility, its CEO, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State. While past attempts to reverse the change failed — including a recent lawsuit dismissed for lack of direct harm — Hall argues his case is unique: he’s not seeking to reinstate old board members but demanding Birmingham residents have a voice in their water provider. With national organizations poised to back him, Hall believes this fight has far-reaching implications beyond Alabama’s borders.
