The Lyman S. Willardson papers contain documents from Lyman’s tenure working for Logan City on the Water and Sewer Board and the Water Advisory Board. The majority of the materials consist of reports, data sheets, city documents, and meeting minutes. The collection also contains documents relating to the campaign for the creation of a Cache County Water Conservancy District in the 1990s.

The collection is divided into three series: Logan City Water and Sewer Development, Cache County Water Conservancy District, and Other Materials. The materials in all three series are arranged chronologically. This collection would be of use to researchers of water management policies in Logan City and Cache County. The material may also be of use when placed in the larger context of Utah or Western water management and environmental history.
