Pell City Welcomes Statewide Experts for Clear Water Alabama Seminar

The City of Pell City is proud to welcome the 2025 Clear Water Alabama Seminar to town today and tomorrow, September 24-25. The event, which will explore how Alabama’s diverse landscapes affect stormwater management, is being hosted at the Pell City Civic Center.

“The City of Pell City is honored to host this important event,” Mayor Bill Pruitt told participants on Wednesday morning in a welcome address. “The work you do to protect our natural resources is crucial for the future of our state, and is especially important for Lake Logan Martin.”

The seminar focuses on critical topics like erosion and sediment control and stormwater management. With more than 160 experts registered to attend, this event highlights the vital importance of protecting our natural resources. Experts will even discuss how to stabilize shorelines on Alabama lakes by participating in demonstrations at Lakeside Park and the Pell City Sports Complex.

“Pell City is a place where landscapes converge, from the Piedmont to the Appalachian foothills, and that’s reflected in the biodiversity and ecology here,” said Ashley Henderson, Assistant Executive Director of the Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee.
