Get ready! Here comes the May rains. So far we have had 3.58 inches of rain in May, about .5 inch yesterday and .04 as of 10:30 AM this morning and more on the way. "Turn around, don't drown" is a good thing to remember. There have already been rescues where folks have driven into a flooded low water crossing. We don't have too many places that are an issue in Lakeway but it can happen. Lakeway Drive near Lakeway Blvd. can flood as can the Blvd. near the church. Be careful, "Turn around, don't drown"!

Stay Safe!
Congratulations to the winners of the election, I'm looking forward to seeing them in action leading our great city! The Official ballot counts should be ready by Travis County this week and council will certify the election at a Special Meeting on May 15th. The winners will be sworn in at the next regular meeting on May 20, 2019. I also want to thank the retiring members for their service - they have done a GREAT job!
The Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of the new Police Facility is scheduled for Saturday, May 11th. Festivities start at 10 a.m. Check out the new facility, it is beautiful, functional and will serve the community well. Thanks to the committee and council that worked diligently for years on the project.
For those that are wondering, the Live Oak Golf Course is undergoing a significant reconstruction. The Live Oak Golf Shop and Food and Beverage station will now be closed until September 1st. The Driving Range and back 9 will stay open for a while.
For you wildlife lovers, here's a short clip of a coyote that visited our back yard last Sunday morning. I mostly catch foxes and skunks in the middle of the night. It's great to see wildlife still in the area.
The Lakeway MUD is continuing their installation of sewer service to sections of Lakeway. If you are interested in the project and want to hear more about it there are public meetings on Thursday May 9 at 10:30am and 5:30pm. It will be held at the Lakeway Activity center and the same information will be provided at both sessions. They can answer all your questions!
Don't forget to take the Comprehensive Plan Survey. Here is a link:

Enjoy the rainy weather - remember, we'll need it in July and August. With the lake full (683.7 currently) they will most likely be sending two shipment of water to the downstream farmers. Hopefully we will get some much needed rain later in the Summer months.
Don't forget, if you need some aerial photo's drop me a note at joe@skypict.com and I'll get it done.
Thanks for the support on the blog! If you want to be added (or removed) from the email list send a note to lakeway@bain.us .
Stay Safe!
