Lake Monroe, also known as Lake Monroe Reservoir is the sole water source for Monroe and several surrounding counties serving over 128,000 customers annually.  Lake Monroe Reservoir became operational in 1965 when other water sources (University Lake, Griffy Reservoir and Lake Lemon) ran out – threatening the local population, the economy and the potential loss of Indiana University.

Lake Monroe Reservoir was built for flood control and as a 100 year water source, however, in 2015 we celebrated its 50 year anniversary.   Now is the time to develop an ongoing funding vehicle for remediation projects, initiating BMP practices, implementing the Watershed Management Plan,  and long term sustainability programs and protections to extend the life of Lake Monroe as our sole water source and to maintain it as key to our regional economy. 

There are many ways that you can support the mission of Lake Monroe Water Fund: donation, education, participation and more. Click here to Get Involved!
