Our staff spent some time on the Cahaba yesterday

Our staff spent some time on the Cahaba yesterday removing dangerous tree snags that had formed following the recent storms and high water. When enjoying the River, always steer clear of any downed trees in the water. Combined with the current, these can create a serious hazard. Also, be sure to check water levels and weather conditions before planning a trip--more stormy weather and high water is expected this weekend!

This #WorldWaterDay, it’s time Congress starts treating water as a human right. Let’s pass the WATER Act so we can fix our aging water infrastructure & help ensure #WaterForAll! See link in bio for how you can help.

CRS and @cahabariverkeeper, represented by @southe

CRS and @cahabariverkeeper, represented by @southernenvironment, filed a legal action to ensure that the Birmingham Water Works Board fulfills a 20-year-old commitment they made to permanently protect their forested lands around the Cahaba River, Lake Purdy, and Little Cahaba River, a main drinking water source for the Birmingham metro area.

We take legal action as a last resort, and this will only be our 4th in over 30 years. That underscores how essential we believe this action is in order to safeguard healthy, abundant, and affordable drinking water from development that could degrade it and cause higher costs for residents and businesses.

We have signed onto the WATER Act (Water Affordabi

We have signed onto the WATER Act (Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity and Reliability Act) and many efforts leading up to this. It’s a water infrastructure bill with priority given to disadvantaged, rural and indigenous communities with funding for water and sewer upgrades and replacement of lead service lines.

These are potential ways this funding could improve the lives of people in our peopleshed:

~ Improve sewage treatment and public health in the Black Belt
~ Create job and economic opportunities in construction and sustainability
~ Help homeowners replace lead water lines that could be permanently damaging their children’s health and limiting their life potential
~ Help restore and rebuild our water systems without burdening ratepayers
~ Help our communities become more resilient in the face of climate change and disasters

Join us in calling your Member of Congress today and tell them it's time to invest in #OurWater is NOW! #PublicWaterForAll
