A local constitutional amendment to merge Prichard's Water Works and Sewer Board into Mobile's water system by transferring assets and debts, dissolving Prichard's board, and holding a June 2014 election to approve the change.
If approved, the assets and liabilities of Prichard's Water Works and Sewer Board would move to Mobile's Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners (Mobile Area Water and Sewer System) within 90 days after ratification. Mobile would assume all liabilities, including debt, contracts, and retirement obligations, with the transfer formalized by a board resolution. After the transfer, the Prichard board would be dissolved. Existing customers' water and sewer rates would not be increased because of acquiring or maintaining Prichard assets. An election on the amendment would be held in June 2014 to approve or reject the change.
Assigned Act No. 2014-86 on 02/27/2014.
