Traced with Dominican shellstone coping, Lake Marilyn is currently under construction
on the north end of town. Lake Marilyn will not only be a beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy
a book and fresh Gulf breezes, but the lake has also been carefully designed to provide irrigation
for the entire community.
"Running our irrigation water through Lake Marilyn obviously creates a beautiful town
amenity, but it also allows for naturally occurring iron to settle out of the water before it can
stain our white masonry surfaces," said Christian Wagley, the town's Environmental Program Manager. "This
is an environmentally friendly feature that eliminates the need for any harsh chemicals to remove the iron or to
clean it from surfaces later."
Somerset Bridge-punctuated with a tower and spiral staircase-will span the lake.
Nestled down along the lake's western shore will be Willow Terrace. With its signature draping willow tree,
the terrace's Dominican shellstone benches will tempt residents to while away the afternoon, soaking up Lake
Marilyn's ever-changing vistas.
When completed, Lake Marilyn will be over 450 feet long and nearly 125 feet wide.
