Stop Tuscaloosa’s Sewage Spills

Take Action: Stop Tuscaloosa’s Chronic Sewage Spills

Black Warrior Riverkeeper and the Friends of Hurricane Creek have started a petition on Action Network telling Mayor Walt Maddox and the City Council of Tuscaloosa to Stop Tuscaloosa’s chronic sewage spills.

The city of Tuscaloosa’s sewage system chronically overflows harmful sewage and industrial wastewater into yards, roadways, creeks, and the Black Warrior River. For decades, the city of Tuscaloosa has allowed its sewer system to fall into disrepair. Broken and leaky components create system failures and unpermitted raw sewage overflows, which threaten public health.

Join us in telling Tuscaloosa’s leadership that the residents of Tuscaloosa deserve properties, communities, and waterways free of sewage spills.
