Remembering Dr. Gordon Hungar  Dr. Gordon Hungar was a leading figure in Lake Forest Park Water District for over three decades following his appointment to a District Commissioner post on July 18, 1977 that was being vacated by departing Commissioner Mr. Metke.    When Gordon arrived on the scene the District was coping with severe problems of deteriorating infrastructure.  Records show that staff had repaired 28 water main and meter leaks in a three-week period during this time.

Lake Forest Park Water District and King County reach agreement on water supply program

King County and the Lake Forest Park Water District have settled a dispute about a water supply replacement program to be carried out under the terms of a 2003 Brightwater Treatment System mitigation agreement.

Under the terms of the settlement, King County will construct a new permanent transmission line between Seattle Public Utilities reservoir in Lake Forest Park and the Water District's current distribution system. The county will also pay the district $2 million to develop and connect a new deep well water source by 2012.
