LWID Board of Directors meets monthly on the first Saturday (except when that Saturday falls on the first day of the month or on a holiday). Meetings begin at 8:30 am at the Fire Station. Residents are welcome to attend.
The LWID Board consists of three property owners who are elected to serve two-year terms. LWID employs a full-time manager and another full-time employee who maintain the various systems, mow, process monthly billing and a variety of other tasks consistent with a small city.
Following World War II, Lake Wabaunsee saw an increase in the construction of cabins and homes. Eventually these property owners wanted better roads and in 1978 formed the Lake Wabaunsee Improvement District to make that happen. As the need for more amenities grew, LWID developed a plan to install a water system and sanitary sewer system.
LWID is the largest improvement district in the state of Kansas.
