Work Along Higley Road

We've had a couple of questions about what is going on along Higley... is "something going in there?" Well, not in the sense of new houses or retail stores; but right next to the Morrison Brothers Ranch office, just south of the Farm Bureau building, these men are hard at work installing a drain:


You may remember that behind this office we used to have corrals from a feedlot - maybe you even remember seeing the steers - and we have removed those corrals. Our farm foreman is getting ready to plant alfalfa, but the new extension to the field doesn't drain properly. The obvious statement "water always runs downhill" becomes even more obvious when irrigating a field. So now the water will go where it is directed.

The other "project" along Higley Road, even farther south from this picture, is indicated by stakes with little green flags on them (so little that my picture of them is nearly indecipherable and therefore unpublished). These stakes mark where our contractor will be installing a sewer line for Lakeview Trails North, the community currently under construction along Elliot Road up to Recker. They do not indicate any potential building along Higley Road at this time.
