Lake Board Information
At the request of residents, a Lake Improvement Board was convened for Wabeek Lake in 1989. The Lake Improvement Board was established as a mechanism to address apparent water quality concerns within the lake. Later that year, the Wabeek Lake Improvement Board began a study to quantify the water quality issues impacting Wabeek Lake and determine what actions, if any, were required to correct these issues.
