Editing Lake Kiowa, Texas (section)

==Community government and amenities==
Lake Kiowa is governed by the [http://www.lakekiowatx.com/ Lake Kiowa Property Owners Association], which is owned by the property owners themselves as the community is almost totally built out (all lots previously owned by the developers were sold as of 2017; the only vacant lots remaining are owned by private individuals).

The Association is led by a nine-member elected board of directors, with each director serving a three-year term.  The terms are offset with three directors up for election each year.  The Association maintains the community's amenities as well as its roads (the community's main road, Kiowa Drive, loops around the lake and crosses over its dam).

The Association provides private security, limited to writing speeding/parking tickets and enforcing community rules.  Police protection is provided by the Cooke County Sheriff's Department and, to a lesser extent, the nearby Gainesville Police Department.  Fire and emergency services are provided by the Indian Creek [[Volunteer Fire Department]] which serves Lake Kiowa and the surrounding area.

The Lake Kiowa Special Utility District maintains the water supply.  Trash pickup is provided by the Association through a private contractor (recycling is no longer offered as of 2018, outside of aluminum can donation sites for the local [[Kiwanis Club]]).  Sewer service is not available; homes must install and maintain an operative [[septic tank|septic system]].

The [[Callisburg Independent School District]] serves students residing in Lake Kiowa.
