Annual Dues

Membership dues enable the Association to maintain the quality of the lake and make living on West Lake a joyful experience. We manage things that benefit all riparians such as weed control and lake treatments, social events, community service projects, city relations, and more. Paid members also receive new boat flags (first come first serve).

 

Annual membership dues are $35/year and the annual fee is billed in January every year.  The $5 increase, the first increase in many years, will help combat rising costs that the association faces.  New members may join the association any time of the year. The West Lake Improvement Association is involved in many activities to help maintain the quality of the lake now and in the future. Please do your part by joining us and paying your membership dues!
