Revised Cullman ordinance drops proposed 25-foot shoreline buffer at Lake George

CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council gave a first reading Monday, Nov. 9, to a revised drinking water ordinance that drops the proposed 25-foot shoreline buffer at Lake George. The council took no vote on Ordinance No. 2026-56 . (See previous story: www.cullmantribune.com/2026/11/08/cullman-proposes-2-5k-minimum-fine-for-lake-violations-but-many-catoma-rules-date-to-2007 ) The first draft named three lakes. The revision names the two that supply Cullman’s drinking water today, Lake Catoma and Duck River Reservoir. It specifies a 35-foot buffer at Catoma and a 100-foot buffer at Duck River, each measured inland from the shoreline when the reservoir is full. Cullman began using Lake George as a water source in 1958. The city later disconnected it from the water system after Lake Catoma and its treatment plant came into service in 1967, according to Tribune archives. The revised ordinance still says the Utilities Board owns property at “all current and former water supply lakes.” If Cullman draws drinking water from Lake George again, the proposed rules for land adjoining the public water supply could apply there. The revised text sets no buffer width for Lake George. Council President Kim Hall said city and utility officials had encountered three different ordinances over the past year and wanted residents

Updated Nov. 11, 2026, at 8:08 p.m. CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council at its Nov. 9 meeting held the first reading of Ordinance No. 2026-56 . The ordinance, a revision of City of Cullman Source Water Ordinance No. 2008-05, updates restrictions and preventative measures for properties surrounding the city’s public water supplies, including Lake Catoma and the Duck River Reservoir, in order to prevent pollution and ensure water quality.
