Hello Karen Lenz. Thank you for submitting your question to SpeakUpHV. The City of Highland Village Drainage Division is performing maintenance of the retention pond drainage site.  The perimeter fencing was becoming compromised by the overgrown vegetation and causing a safety issue in that area due to the steep grades leading down to the existing retention pond.  A maintenance plan has been put together to keep the fence line clear of future vegetation growth.  If you have further questions or comments, please contact the Director of Public Works at 972-317-2989 to discuss.

Hello MY4BOYS. Thank you for submitting your question to SpeakUpHV. The City utilizes the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method to evaluate all streets within the corporate limits. That method allows City staff to develop a pavement management plan. As part of the City’s pavement management plan, the City has a contractual street panel replacement program. (View examples of recent repairs here). In the past several years, the City has funded and replaced dozens of panels in the general area of Highland Shores Blvd and surrounding streets. City will continue to utilize the third party contractor to make concrete panel replacements as funding allows. City forces will continue with temporary pothole patching as needed. There are long-term plans for Highland Shores Blvd. reconstruction. The Denton County bond package that was recently approved by voters will provide the City will partial funding for a portion of Highland Shores Blvd. to be reconstructed. The project is currently in the design phase and anticipated to move into the construction phase late 2023. If you have additional questions, please contact Scott Kriston, Director of Public Works, at 972-317-2989.

Hello T79. Thank you for submitting your question to SpeakUpHV. The police department depends on information and reporting from citizens to help keep our City safe. HVPD will deploy city owned speed monitoring equipment for a week to collect data and help us determine what time(s) would be the most advantageous for us to deploy additional resources.  

Hello EricE. Thank you for submitting your question on SpeakUpHV. The City is prepping the site for a new groundwater well to be constructed on the City property.  The City’s water supply is made up of ground water wells and surface water purchased through the Upper Trinity Regional Water District subscription.  Equipment has a life span and a well is no different.  The Lake Vista ground water well located near your property is at its end of life and needs to be replaced.  With the residential development taking place over the years, the ingress and egress to the existing Lake Vista station site for equipment needed to maintain and/or construct ground water wells has become difficult to a point that contractors can no longer navigate the public right-of-ways to get to the site.  Anticipating this well replacement, many years ago the City secured property located near the existing Lake Vista site with access off of Sellmeyer Lane.  The City is planning to install a new municipal ground water well that will provide water to the existing Lake Vista ground storage tank. This is an important project that will insure a continued reliable supply of potable water for the residents of Highland Village. The project is in the design phase at this time and is anticipated to move into the construction phase in the summer of 2023.
