Water is applied to the areas to be sweeped in order to keep dust and dirt particles down.
Holiday Tree Lighting Pictured here are employees of the Metro Districts' Facilities Crew, Jason DeHaven and Ken Standen, decorating our community's trees with holiday lights. Each year, the number of lights used in our community increases. The lights were illuminated November 24 through January 2. The Metro Districts have partnered with Shea Homes to bring a series of four new colorful seasonal banners to Highlands Ranch. Metro Districts forestry crews install 110 banners at the community's main intersections and entrances thanks to a generous donation from Shea Homes.
