Cleburne County Water System Improvements & Extensions
Cleburne County, AL

Formerly Benton County, Cleburne County, Alabama was established on December 6, 1866, by an act of the state legislature. The county was made from territory in Calhoun, Randolph, and Talladega counties. In 1867, Edwardsville was made the county seat. An election was held in 1905 to move the county seat to Heflin. The result of that election, which agreed to move the seat, was appealed to the Supreme Court, who decided on July 1, 1906, to uphold the election results. Heflin is still the county seat. There are approximately 15,000 residents and over 561 square miles in Cleburne County, Alabama.

Cleburne County Water Authority owns and operates a three million gallon per day water system, providing potable water services to the residents of Cleburne County and the Town of Heflin, Alabama, the largest city and county seat. The Water Authority also sells water to neighboring water systems in Alabama and Georgia.
