Eagle Lake Improvement Association

The Eagle Lake Improvement Association originally was formed because of concerns over declining water quality. The Eagle Lake Improvement Association by-laws were adopted on July 7, 1966. In December of 1968 the Eagle Lake Association lead the discussion on a centralized sanitary sewer around the lake with Kandiyohi County. By October 20, 1969 Kandiyohi County commissioners approved Eagle Lake's centralized sewage system, and in 1973 the peripheral sewage collection line was in place around Eagle Lake. It was the first of its type constructed in out state Minnesota. Three sediment basins were also constructed in the watershed; they were designed to reduce the sediment and nutrients delivered to the lake from its predominantly agricultural watershed (Simons, 2011) and (Wright, 1995).
