Rural Water District #13

Jefferson County Rural Water District # 13 was founded nearly 30 years ago, and now supplies water to more than 850 homes and area businesses in the area, about 80% of the water for the City of McLouth, and all of the water for Leavenworth Water District # 10. The business office building is located at 1951 Wellman Road, and open Board meetings are held there on the third Thursday of each month. Linda Lips is the Office Manager (785-842-1502), and Jerry Stewart is the interim District Manager. A seven-member Board of Directors is elected to serve the water clients, and the District email address is jeffrwd13 @ hughes.net. The Water District Operation is a multi-million dollar business with nearly 90 pipeline miles of service. Our water is pumped from two wells located near the Lawrence Airport. The physical treatment plant is located south of the intersection of N 2000 Rd and E 1600 Rd, and has the capacity to pump approximately a million gallons of water per day. Additional information is available through the Office Administrator, and the public is always invited to the Board meetings.
