Is the Water Department a part of the city?
Yes and no. The Water Department is a separate legal entity with its own board of directors and management team. The rates are set by the Water Works Board. However, because the City of Calera is also responsible for the ultimate financial condition of the water system, it is considered a “component” of the city. The Water Department has its own annual financial audit.
