Fluoride Returns to Central Alabama Water

0:00Central Alabama water customers might soon get fluoride back in their taps after a judge slapped a temporary restraining order on the utility, this Monday. Birmingham hit C-A-W with a lawsuit just days earlier, saying they yank fluoride without the required 90-day heads up to the city. Folks are fired up about it, calling it a big win for doing things right by law no matter who's involved. Race, gender, none of that. The order demands immediate restoration, but C-A-W spokesperson stayed mum on whether it's happened yet, citing the ongoing court fight. That restraining order holds till Thursday at 5 p.m. when C-A-W has to prove they gave proper notice and a hearing could stretch it out, further keeping eyes on clean water rules ahead.
