A new dam was constructed in the late 1990's on Waubeesee Lake. The old dam, known as "Funks Dam" was
constructed in the 1920's and had badly deteriorated. This project was unique in that it was constructed
at a very conservative cost and was totaly funded by the homeowners on Waubeesee Lake. The Town
has now assumed ownership of this dam. Hats-off to the citizens of Waubeesee Lake and special thanks
at the time to Supervisor John Malchine, for seeing this project through from start to finish. Pete Bailey (American
Surveying Co.) for donating his time and expertise, and Frenchy La Fond who helped organize the ass-
essment process. This project proves that "Good Things Can Happen" When citizens work together.
