 LAKES

The Palm Pointe/Palm Isles common areas are irrigated with water from the lakes. This is surface water, collected from runoff from rainfall. Each lake has a "pump station," which consist of a pump, motor and a recharge well to put water into the lake during periods of drought.

The "lakes" are actually storm water retention ponds, dug by the developer under permit from South Florida Water Management District. 

The lakes are connected to the neighboring communities. Water flows from our lakes, joins with runoff from Islesworth under Mill Creek and continues west under High Meadow Avenue, into the lakes of Sunset Trace. Then back east under High Meadows again, underground past Manero's restaurant, over a weir (in the CVS parking lot), then under Martin Downs Boulevard into the lake at The Meadows. It then continues through The Meadows, under Murphy Road, and into the Hidden River.
