Governor appoints Colby resident help manage state’s water
Lon R. Frahm appointed to Kansas Water Authority

With water being critical to the continued growth and development of the state, Governor Kathleen Sebelius today announced her appointment of Lon R. Frahm to the Kansas Water Authority.

“Water is one of our most important natural resources, and it’s vital to the continued growth of our state,” said Sebelius. “It’s essential we have a strong water authority to help guide water policy in our state.”

The Kansas Water Authority reviews plans for the development, management and use of the water resources of the state by any state or local agency.

Frahm, Colby, has an extensive background in agricultural production, irrigation, and energy.  He received a master’s degree in agricultural business from Kansas State University after earlier earning a Bachelor of Science in both agricultural economics and business administration.

Sebelius also reappointed Karma Mason, Wichita, to the authority. Each will serve a 4-year term.
