Birmingham’s main water utility is facing a serious cash crunch, and it’s not just a boardroom issue—this could hit all of us at home. With a $63 million debt payment looming and reserve funds running low, there’s real talk about higher water bills or service changes if things don’t turn around. The utility’s credit rating is at risk, which could make borrowing more expensive in the future. How do you feel about possible rate hikes or changes to water service? What should the city do to protect this essential resource? #Business #Birmingham #WaterWorks
