The City of Lake Park and the Lake Park Municipal Utilities has provided water to the residents of Lake Park since 1910 when the water tower and the first water lines were constructed. The water source at the time was a well but when demand became too great, the City began pumping water from the lake. A water plant was built in 1938 on the lake just north of Soddy's. In 1970, a new plant was built on the northeast side of the City Park with the old one being demolished a few years later.

Sewer Rates
(June 2023) The new sewer plant has been in operation since last fall. Thank you to those who stopped out at the open house to view how it operates. An additional increase in the sewer rate will take effect July 1, which means the increase will be seen on the July usage bill. The new rates will be:
Monthly service fee: $22.13
Per 1,000 gal. Water: $10.40
Capital Improvement Fee: $29.00
Effective 7/1/2023
As a city we will do all that we can to keep cost as low as possible and run the plant as efficient as we can. We will have a much better idea of actual costs when the loan closes, and we have a year of operation cost under our belt. At which time we will be reviewing the rates. We will continually review rates.
