The Birmingham Water Works Board Wednesday approved a new self-governing policy that includes significant new ethics requirements and training for board members, and also approved a new five-year contract governing its relationship with the Jefferson County Sewer system.
This week the Birmingham Water Works Board (BWWB) is expected to vote on a new self-governance policy and pledge that would require members to undergo training on ethics, BWWB procedures, and other water industry topics.
The Birmingham Water Works Board is looking at a new pledge by board members to receive additional training on ethics, open meetings/public records law, operational issues, and promise to avoid conflicts of interest.
