On March 8, 2018 Bud Leonard passed away and we lost our elder historian. Fortunately, Bud was able to archive several historical documents for us. Bud was an iconic member of the Wall Lake community and we miss Bud very much.

Sewer System Problems
Call Barry County Sewer and Water Authority 1-269-623-3401.
24/7 service is available.
​
Decades ago Wall Lake, like so many rural lakes, used septic systems for waste treatment. Because of this, Wall Lake's water clarity and quality suffered.
In the 1990’s, in an effort to improve water quality, the GWLA worked tirelessly with residents and neighboring lake associations to bring a sewer system to Wall Lake. This was a monumental accomplishment and today we enjoy a much cleaner lake because of this achievement.
