New lakes fill almost over night the water is being transferred from someplace.

The lakes are interconnected by sections. I doubt there is a connection under the Turnpike but could be wrong.
Water is being moved from other retention ponds in the Bradford/Hawkins/Chitty Chatty/StC area by the storm water management system that exists as well as drainage from the areas under construction. The demand for the reclaimed water is still relatively low in this area so it is a viable source. The other retention pond levels will drop for a while but recover naturally over a short period of time.

No, there is no connection to the south side of the Turnpike or to the systems north of SR44.
