Retired 3-star Army general takes command at Birmingham Water Works

By: Barnett Wright

Retired Lt. Gen. Ron Burgess, who rose to the level of three-star general in the U.S. Army, will independently assess the Birmingham Water Works from top to bottom with no limitations and recommend structural changes where needed, BWW Board Chair Tereshia Huffman said recently.

“It is no mystery that prior BWW boards have struggled to build the trust needed with the public while modernizing our operations to best serve our customers,” she said.

Huffman introduced Burgess during a recent media briefing, saying the Water Works needed a “more effective approach to the system’s operations” and wanted a highly respected and experienced leader for the job.
