The work on Viewpoint Lake in Sun City moved on to another phase.
With the slopes covered by liner and concrete banks though nearly all of phases 1 and 2, workers completed the liner on phase 3. The former phases are near Lakeview Center, 10626 W. Thunderbird Blvd., and around Emerald Point, Cameo Drive, Bayside Road and some on Kannapali Point, respectively. Now liner is installed from the tip of Kannapali Point all the way around the east end of the lake to nearly the boat ramp at 105th Avenue.
Kevin McCurdy, Recreation Centers of Sun City interim general manager, said the work, being done by Pacific Aquascapes, appears to be on schedule to begin refilling the lake Friday, Aug. 4, with the expectation it will be full by the end of September.
