History

In 2002, the District was petitioned by rural residents to investigate alternatives on providing a good, clean source of water for a 48-square mile area located south of Blair. Volunteers canvassed the area to inform residents and gauge interest. A supplemental feasibility study was completed in October 2003 indicating that a portion of the area was economically viable, which was located generally between Hwy. 133 and Hwy. 75. Final design of the distribution network followed, and in November, 2004, the award to construct the project went to BRB Contractors (Topeka, KS) in the amount of $2,535,255.26. Completed in October of 2005, the Washington County Rural Water #2 system provides potable water supply to over 400 properties in southeast Washington County. In 2017, the Lakeland Water Company joined the system and provides water to an additional 550 households. The 38-mile distribution network purchases its water supply from the City of Blair.
