Lakes on my mind



No, of course this isn't the lake at Highland Groves; this is over by Lakeview Village, and that is the Farm Bureau building in the background to the left. But it points out some of the multiple purposes of our lakes. First and foremost, they are the receptacle for the reclaimed water that we use to irrigate our trees and turf in the common areas throughout Morrison Ranch. Beyond that practical use, they offer aesthetic beauty for a walk or a run or just a glance from the car window while driving down the street. And then there are the relaxing uses like sailing a boat, as shown above, or catching (and releasing - remember, it's reclaimed water) fish.

When the Lakeview Trails North community is completed in the next couple of years, the ambiance of the lake to the east will be complete and integrated, and the choices for a pleasant stroll exponentially increased.

And what about those other lakes? Highland Groves lakes had the gunnite shot yesterday; the water is on tap, so to speak, so as soon as the edges are completed and inspected, it should begin to flow.
