Cullman proposes $2.5K minimum fine for lake violations, but many Catoma rules date to 2007

CULLMAN, Ala. – A homeowner on Lake Catoma can already mow the protected strip along the water only three times a year. What would change under a proposal before the Cullman City Council is the cost of a violation. The city’s 2007 ordinance set fines at $50 to $500 per violation. The proposed minimum is $2,500 per violation upon conviction. The Council is scheduled to give Ordinance No. 2026-56 a first reading Monday, Nov. 9. The proposal names Lake Catoma, Lake George and Duck River Reservoir. It is not yet law. “Our responsibility is to protect the quality and reliability of the drinking water supply that serves our residents, businesses and surrounding communities,” Cullman City Council President Kim Hall said. “Many of our existing regulations are nearly 20 years old and were written before Duck River Reservoir became part of our water system.” What already applies at Lake Catoma Although the earlier ordinance is numbered 2008-05, the signed copy shows the Council adopted it Nov. 26, 2007, nearly 19 years ago. It established a 35-foot buffer measured inland from the lake’s full-pool line, the mapped shoreline when the reservoir is full. That line stays put even when the water recedes.
