Description

Jerry Plott was part of Tuscaloosa's first elected city council in 1985 and he served five terms, retiring in 2005. He was also president of the council at times.

The Jerry Plott Water Treatment Plant, a state-of-the-art facility on the hill overlooking Lake Tuscaloosa’s dam, is named for the five-term city councilman who spearheaded Tuscaloosa’s water system expansion.

His father-in-law, former Tuscaloosa Mayor Snow Hinton, was instrumental in building Lake Tuscaloosa, which serves as Tuscaloosa’s raw water supply.
