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.
