KATY, TX (February 18, 2015) – With the opening of on-site builder sales offices in Cane Island just weeks away, work crews and a team of field biologists have started the build-out of the community’s catch-and-release fishing lakes, fountains and geysers as the first phase of development as the Katy master-planned community continues. Lake Management Services, L.P. of Sugar Land has been engaged to maintain the seven lakes within Cane Island’s first phase and the three others planned for the community’s second phase. Each stocked lake will include an elegant fountain or impressive geyser system to circulate and aerate water while creating attractive water features throughout the community. “Our goal is to design Cane Island’s lake system to ensure water quality, a balanced aquatic ecosystem and a maximum number of homes with fountain views,” according to Mac McCune, president of Lake Management Services. Cane Island’s signature water feature at the community’s entry will feature seven boomer jets spraying water approximately 28-30 feet high to create an inspiring display along the community’s point of arrival. The waterways also serve as detention ponds to capture run off rainwater, McCune adds. “When you consider the size of the community, ten lakes is a very impressive figure,” he says. Lake Management Services was the first urban lake management firm in Texas managing urban lakes and ponds since 1978. It was one of the first lake management firm in Texas to equip its field personnel with real-time, wireless-broadband communications to allow for the most accurate testing and on-site data collection. The build-out of Cane Island’s waterways is part of the Katy master-planned community’s first phase to including the opening of 13 model homes and Amenity Village housing a Conservatory for events, fully-equipped fitness center, yoga studio and multi-purpose room with commercial kitchen.
