Alabama adds to 17-year-old water lawsuit
Posted by Associated Press October 18, 2007 12:49 PM
The state of Alabama has added new complaints about the Atlanta area's water usage and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to its 17-year-old lawsuit over shared water resources.
The state has filed papers in Birmingham challenging the government's decision to hold more water in Georgia's Lake Allatoona, which serves the Atlanta metro area.
Alabama officials also contend the Atlanta metro area is being allowed to use more water than it is supposed to receive.
Neither the state of Georgia nor the Army Corps has responded to the new claims, which come in a lawsuit filed in 1990 over water sharing between Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

Corps of Engineers to update water-sharing formulas
10/18/2007, 3:43 p.m. CDT
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will update the manuals it uses to decide how Georgia and Alabama share water in a major river basin, agreeing to a long-sought demand from Georgia officials who say new formulas are necessary to account for their state's rapid growth.
The agency began notifiying lawmakers of the decision Thursday afternoon. While Georgians cheered the development, it is sure to enrage Alabama officials who have fought to block the update, fearing it could cripple the state's water supply.
Both states have intensely lobbied Corps and Army officials in recent months as drought has gripped the region.
