Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 3 of 16
a ratepayer for water services provided by the Birmingham Water Works Board.
11. Plaintiff, LaTonya A. Tate, is a Birmingham City Council member, and a citizen
and ratepayer for water services provided by the Birmingham Water Works Board.
12. The City of Birmingham is an Alabama municipal corporation.
13. All Plaintiffs will be hereafter referred to as “City Plaintiffs.”
14. Defendant, Kay Ivey, is the Governor of the State of Alabama.
15. Jurisdiction is proper in the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Alabama, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 2201, 1331, 1343(a)(3), (a)(4), supplemental jurisdiction under
§1367(a), and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65.
16. Venue proper is under U.S.C.A. § 1391.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
1. On or about April 17, 2025, the Alabama State Senate introduced Senate Bill 330
(“SB330”).
2. On or about May 1, 2025, SB330 obtained final passage in the Legislature and
awaits the Governor’s signature.
3. SB330 would convert the Birmingham Water Works Board into a regional water
works board.
4. SB330 would also restructure the Birmingham Water Works Board and diminish
the oversight and appointing authority of the City of Birmingham ("Birmingham") and elected
officials in Jefferson County, leading to consequential decisions that do not align with the needs
of our residents.
5. The citizens of Jefferson County make up more than 90% of Birmingham Water
Works customers, and the citizens of Birmingham make up more than 40% of the customer base.
3
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 4 of 16
6. Birmingham built the water utility and is more invested than any other community
in its success. Water is a critical component of economic development, and Birmingham is the
economic engine of the state, contributing about 30% of our entire state’s gross domestic product.
7. SB330, however, will result in disproportionate representation of customers served
by the Board, in that a county with only 592 customers (Blount), will have significantly greater
representation per capita than Jefferson County, with 202,316 customers, or the City of
Birmingham, with 90,411 customers. To further illustrate the point, it should be noted that Walker
County, despite currently having only 73 Birmingham Water Works customers, would have
authority to appoint one member to the Board in the event it is determined that a “Major Reservoir”
exists in the County.
8. SB330 represents extreme governmental overreach in response to perceived
management issues that the Legislature apparently believes are somehow due to Birmingham’s
appointees to the Water Works Board, and, despite the fact that the Board currently includes
directors appointed by the Jefferson County Mayors Association and both Shelby and Blount
Counties, SB330 reduces Board appointments only for Birmingham, from six total appointments
to two.
9. The implication that any perceived problems with the Water Works Board’s
management are due to the majority of Board members being appointed by Birmingham is wholly
unsupported, is based strictly on the racial makeup of Birmingham being more than 50% black,
presents issues of constitutionality and fundamental fairness, constitutes blatant racial
discrimination, and is an affront to Birmingham’s elected leadership and its citizens.
10. There is no legitimate basis for the apparent assumption that management of the
Water Works Board will be improved if Birmingham has fewer appointments.
4
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 5 of 16
COUNT I—EQUAL PROTECTION
11. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averments
contained in paragraphs one (1) through ten (10) as if fully set forth herein.
12. The Equal Protection Clause requires the government to treat similarly situated
persons in a similar manner. Gary v. City of Warner Robins, Ga., 311 F.3d 1334, 1337 (11th
Cir.2002).
13. The United States Supreme Court has recognized, as recently as 2023, that
“'Alabama's extensive history of repugnant racial and voting-related discrimination is undeniable and
well documented.'” Allen v. Milligan, 599 U.S. 1, 22, 143 S. Ct. 1487, 1506, 216 L. Ed. 2d 60 (2023)
(quoting Singleton v. Merrill, 582 F. Supp. 3d 924, 1020 (N.D. Ala. 2022)).
14. True to history, the Alabama State Legislature enacted SB330, which is a bill that
strips the City of Birmingham, a majority African American city, of its power to appoint a majority
of the directors to Birmingham Water Works Board.
15. The apparent basis for this deprivation, as listed in the legislative “findings”, is
described as follows: “Water works boards described in Section 11-50-300, Code of Alabama,
1975, where the power to appoint a controlling number of the members of a board of directors is
vested in a municipality whose voting residents comprise a fraction of the individuals served by
the municipally controlled water works.”
16. Although masquerading in facially neutral terms, the “findings” relate exclusively
to the City of Birmingham and the Birmingham Water Works Boards as the Birmingham Water
Works Board is the only current state-wide water utility entity that fits the criteria stated in the
legislative “findings.”
17. There is no rational basis to support this “finding.”
5
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 6 of 16
18. Currently, Birmingham Water Works is governed by a nine-member Board of
Directors. Two directors are appointed by the Mayor of Birmingham, four directors are appointed
by the Birmingham City Council, one director is appointed by the Jefferson County Mayors
Association, one director is appointed by the Shelby County Commission and one director is
appointed by the Blount County Commission. The Birmingham Water Works Board also provides
water services to Walker County.
19. Approximately 67% of Birmingham residents identify as African American, as
compared to approximately 2.0% of Blount County residents, 6.3% of Walker County residents,
14.7% of Shelby residents, 43.4% and Jefferson County residents. 1
20. Thus, while 67% of the population of the City of Birmingham is African American,
the populations of each of the surrounding areas which stand to gain disproportionate control of
the Birmingham Water Works Board are majority white.2
21. The selection scheme mandated by SB3330 deprives the City Plaintiff of the
effective and meaningful participation in the affairs of the Birmingham Water Works Board by
diluting the City Plaintiffs’ appointment authority.
22. SB330 clearly discriminates against the City Plaintiffs, impermissibly treating them
differently than similarly situated ratepayers based on race.
23. SB330 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.
COUNT II—VOTING RIGHT ACT VIOLATIONS
24. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averments
contained in paragraphs one (1) through twenty-three (23) as if fully set forth herein.
1 Census figures were derived from the 2024 census.
2
In Jefferson County the number of individuals who identify as white alone is approximately 52%. For Shelby
County it’s, 80.7%. For Walker County, it’s 90.7%. For Blount County, it’s 95.3%. For the City of Birmingham,
it’s 25.6%.
6
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 7 of 16
25. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was designed to “eradicat[e] voting practices
that ‘minimize or cancel out the voting strength and political effectiveness of minority groups’ ”
and prohibits “all States and their political subdivisions from maintaining any voting ‘standard,
practice, or procedure’ that ‘results in a denial or abridgement of the right ... to vote on account of
race or color.’ ” Reno v. Bossier Par. Sch. Bd., 520 U.S. 471, 479, 117 S.Ct. 1491, 137 L.Ed.2d
730(1997).
26. The selection scheme mandated by SB330 minimizes and cancels out the voting
strength and political effectiveness of the City Plaintiffs by substantially and immediately
diminishing their appointment authority by 67%.
27. Moreover, despite the fact that the Birmingham Water Works Board currently
includes directors appointed by the Jefferson County Mayors Association and both Shelby and
Blount Counties, SB330’s reduction in appointment authority only applies to the City Plaintiffs --
reducing their authorities in their official capacities and their rights to fair and proportional
representation in their individual capacities.
28. SB330’s reduction of the City Plaintiffs’ appointment authority is also
disproportionate to the percentage of water consumers residing in the City of Birmingham’s
jurisdictional limits.
29. Thus, while appearing facially neutral, SB330 instead works to highjack control of
the Birmingham Water Works Board from the majority black City of Birmingham with flagrant
disregard for the voting rights of the City Plaintiffs.
COUNT III—SB330 VIOLATES THE SUPREMACY CLAUSE OF THE UNITED
STATES CONSTITUTION
30. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averments
contained in paragraphs one (1) through twenty-nine (29) as if fully set forth herein.
7
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 8 of 16
31. Under Article VI of the United States Constitution, the “Constitution, and the laws
of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof,…shall be the supreme Law of the
Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws
of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”
32. The selection scheme mandated by SB330 violates the United States Constitution
and federal law.
COUNT IV—SB330 VIOLATES DUE PROCESS CLAUSE OF THE UNITED
STATES CONSTITUTION
33. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averments
contained in paragraphs one (1) through thirty-two (32) as if fully set forth herein.
34. Public corporations like Birmingham Water Works are “persons” for the 14th
Amendment. Montgomery v. Greene, 180 Ala. 322, 333, 60 So. 900, 903 (1913). Under the
Fourteenth Amendment, SB330, which has no rational classifications that apply to any entity other
than the Birmingham Water Works Boad, violate due process and equal protection.
35. The Alabama Code requires consent of the Birmingham City Council by resolution
to amend the Certificate of Incorporation. §§11-50-232(b), 11-50-237(c) Ala. Code (1975).
Because SB330 contains no amendatory provisions and is an unlawful attempt to dilute the voting
power of the City Council and amend the Certificate of Incorporation approved by the City
Council, which provides that any changes regarding the operations of the Birmingham Water
Works Board, the election of the board of directors, the number of board members, terms of the
board members, and amount of compensation for board members must be recommended by the
Birmingham Water Work Board of Directors and approved by the City Council. (Emphasis added).
36. A government using the excuse of police power to take away property and contract
rights of a public corporation is an appropriation without compensation and the violation of the
8
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 9 of 16
right to contract as the District Court stated in L.A. Gas & Elec. Co. v. Los Angeles, 241 F. 912,
920-21 (S.D. Cal. 1917):
37. Accordingly, the Legislature's takeover of the Birmingham Water Works Board is
a taking without Due Process.
38. The members of the Birmingham Water Works Board are appointed by the City of
Birmingham, and have management rights, which are property rights, which have clearly been
taken away and impaired by SB330.
39. SB330 preserves eight separate classifications that exempt all other waterworks or
other corporations in the State of Alabama from the operation of the Act in violation of the Due
Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment and similarly construed
Alabama Constitutional Provisions.
40. The rights of the citizens who incorporated the Birmingham Water Works Board
to make a contract with the City of Birmingham, as contained in its Articles of Incorporation, for
the acquisition of, and to own and manage, the water utility assets entrusted to Birmingham Water
Works Board, under the terms of its Articles of Incorporation, is just as sacred and protected and
the right of any other corporation or individual to contract for the acquisition of property. The
City Plaintiffs should be free from governmental taking or impairment or arbitrary or unequal
application of law. See generally, Cotting v. Godard, 183 U.S. 79, 107-113 (1901).
COUNT V—SB330 VIOLATES THE CONTRACTS CLAUSE OF THE UNITED
STATES CONSTITUTION
41. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averments
contained in paragraphs one (1) through forty (40) as if fully set forth herein.
42. SB330 violates the contracts clause of the United States Constitution.
9
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 10 of 16
43. SB330 substantially impairs the City Plaintiff’s contractual agreements with the
Birmingham Water Works Board in that the legislation completely eviscerates the City Plaintiffs’
right to approve amendments to the Board’s articles of incorporation. §11-50-232(b), Ala. Code
1975.
44. SB330 also works to ameliorate the City Plaintiffs’ reversionary property right as
established under §11-50-237(c) of the Alabama Code.
45. SB330 substantially and unconstitutionally impairs the franchise agreements
between the City of Birmingham and the Birmingham Water Works, as well as any franchises
granted by other municipalities to the Birmingham Water Works.
46. Under Section 3 of SB330, §11-50-300.06 provides:
“(c)(1) A regional board may not make payments to any municipality,
county, or other entity except for reasonable consideration in payment for
goods or services required in the operation or management of the systems
operated by the regional board.
“(2) The Attorney General shall enforce this subsection by filing a
complaint seeking to prevent or to recoup amounts paid by the regional
board in violation of this subsection and to obtain other remedies as may
be appropriate under the circumstances, in the Circuit Court of
Montgomery County, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction of the
matter.””
47. The City of Birmingham has granted certain franchise agreements to the
Birmingham Water Works Board to operate in the public rights of way of the City. These
agreements include payment to the City for those rights. A franchise is not “goods or services”, it
is consent to and grant of a privilege granted by sovereign authority.
48. §11-50-300.06 (c)(1) and (2) infringe on the City’s right to control the operation of
public utilities and private enterprises in its rights of way under Ala. Const. Art. XII, section 220,
which states:
10
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 11 of 16
“No person, firm, association, or corporation shall be authorized or
permitted to use the streets, avenues, alleys, or public places of any city,
town, or village for the construction or operation of any public utility or
private enterprise, without first obtaining the consent of the proper
authorities of such city, town, or village.”
49. In City of Mobile v. Farrell, 158 So. 539, 540–41 (Ala. 1934), the Alabama
Supreme Court said:
“The right to use the public streets for hire does not exist in public or
private enterprises. The privilege is a grant by sovereign authority, and is
what is generally termed a franchise. … In the United States, the state
Legislature has succeeded to sovereign authority in this respect, subject to
constitutional limitations. … The effect of a legislative franchise is limited
by constitutional restrictions, such as contained in sections 22, 220, and
228, Constitution of 1901. Section 220 was not intended to divest the
state of its sovereign power and invest it in cities. But it means that the
right of the Legislature to grant a franchise for the use of streets in a
city or town for a public utility or private enterprise is subject to the
consent of such city or town.” (Emphasis added; internal citations
omitted.)
50. Further, as utility franchises are granted through agreements that include payment
for the privilege to use the public rights of way, §11-50-300.06 (c)(1) and (2)’s limiting payments
from the regional board to a municipality only to goods and services impair those existing franchise
agreements in violation of Ala. Const. Art. I, § 22.
Section 22 states:
“That no ex post facto law, nor any law, impairing the obligations of
contracts, or making any irrevocable or exclusive grants of special
privileges or immunities, shall be passed by the legislature; and every grant
or franchise, privilege, or immunity shall forever remain subject to
revocation, alteration, or amendment.”
51. SB330 substantially and unconstitutionally impairs the franchise agreements
between the City of Birmingham and the Birmingham Water Works, as well as any franchises
granted by other municipalities to the Birmingham Water Works.
11
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 12 of 16
52. SB330’s substantial impairment of the contractual relationship with the
Birmingham Water Works Board does not serve a reasonable and necessary important public
purpose.
COUNT VI—SB330 VIOLATES ARTICLE VII, SECTIONS 173 AND 175 OF THE
ALABAMA CONSTITUTION
53. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averments
contained in paragraphs one (1) through fifty-two (52) as if fully set forth herein.
54. Section 3 of SB330, authorizing the removal of directors by individual appointing
authorities, violates the Alabama Constitution under the Alabama Supreme Court’s reasoning in
Roberts v. Fredrick, 328 So.2d 277 (Ala. 1976).
55. In Roberts, the Supreme Court found that the state code provision allowing a mayor,
the appointing authority for a housing board, to remove a member of the housing board for cause
was repugnant to the Constitution. As a public officer, the Court noted, the housing board member
could only be removed pursuant to Ala. Const. Article VII, Sec. 173 and Sec. 175. Roberts v.
Fredrick, 295 Ala. at 284, 328 So. 2d at 279.
56. Similarly, as the directors of the Birmingham Water Works Board are public
officers (see McCullough v. State ex rel. Burrell, 352 So. 2d 1121, 1123 (Ala. 1977) (finding that
members of a water and sewer board that is organized by law to perform municipal functions are
public officers), they could only be removed from their positions by the manner and mechanism
provided in Sections 173 and 175 of the Alabama Constitution. Removal by individual appointing
authorities, as is impermissibly authorized in SB330, would be repugnant to the state constitution.
57. It is also important to note that SB 330 does not include severability provisions.
Thus, as § 11-50-300.03(i) clearly violates the Alabama Constitution, the entire bill is invalid.
12
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 13 of 16
COUNT VII—SB330 VIOLATES ARTICLE XVII, SECTIONS 280 OF THE
ALABAMA CONSTITUTION
58. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averment
contained in paragraph one (1) through fifty-seven (57) as if fully set forth herein.
59. Section 11-50-300.03(c)(3) of SB330 permits “elected public officials” to be
appointed as directors on regional boards.
60. Moreover, § 11-50-300.03(j) mandates that each director “shall be entitled to
receive compensation of two thousand dollars ($2,000) per month…as well as reimbursement
for necessary expenses actually incurred by him or her in connection with the performance of
his or her duties.”
61. By permitting public officials to hold two offices of profit at the same time, SB330
is violative of Article XVII, § 280 of the Alabama Constitution (stating that “[n]o person holding
an office of profit under the United States, except postmasters, whose annual salaries do not
exceed two hundred dollars, shall, during his continuance in such office, hold any office of profit
under this state; nor, unless otherwise provided in this Constitution, shall any person hold two
offices of profit at one and the same time under this state, except justices of the peace, constables,
notaries public, and commissioner of deeds.”).
62. Again, SB330 does not include severability provisions. Thus, as § 11-50-300.03
clearly violates the Alabama Constitution, the entire bill is invalid.
COUNT VIII—SB330 VIOLATES ARTICLE XII, SECTION 220 OF THE
ALABAMA CONSTITUTION
63. The City Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the allegations and averment
contained in paragraph one (1) through sixty-two (62) as if fully set forth herein.
64. The City of Birmingham has granted certain franchise agreements to the
13
Case 2:25-cv-00352 Document 1 Filed 05/06/25 Page 14 of 16
Birmingham Water Works Board to operate in the public rights of way of the City. These
agreements include payment to the City for those rights. A franchise is not “goods or services”, it
is consent to and grant of a privilege granted by sovereign authority.
65. §11-50-300.06 (c)(1) and (2) infringe on the City’s right to control the operation of
public utilities and private enterprises in its rights of way under Ala. Const. Art. XII, section 220.
66. Further, as utility franchises are granted through agreements that include payment
for the privilege to use the public rights of way, §11-50-300.06 (c)(1) and (2)’s limiting payments
from the regional board to a municipality only to goods and services impair those existing franchise
agreements in violation of Ala. Const. Art. I, § 22.
67. SB330 substantially and unconstitutionally impairs the franchise agreements
between the City of Birmingham and the Birmingham Water Works, as well as any franchises
granted by other municipalities to the Birmingham Water Works. This substantial impairment of
the contractual relationship with the Birmingham Water Works Board does not serve a reasonable
and necessary important public purpose.
