Fresh on the heels of our report two weeks ago that Silt Water Treatment Plant Operators Sara Flores and Daryl Back had passed their Level A water treatment certifications, the Town is proud to announce that Daryl has passed his Level A wastewater treatment certification test. Following a grueling three-hour examination in Grand Junction, Daryl learned that he had passed. Only about 24% of those who sit for the exam actually pass it. Daryl also has certifications in water distribution and wastewater collection.
Wastewater treatment exams and certifications are classified as D, C, B and A with A being highest level attainable. All certification levels require a minimum amount of hands-on experience and a high school diploma to be eligible to take an exam. To sit for the A exam, one must have around four years of experience working in the wastewater treatment field.
Please join all of us at the Town of Silt in congratulating Daryl for this rare double!
Daryl has lived in Silt with his wife Carol since 1992.

- Silt Water Treatment Lead Operator Sara Fores, Public Works Director Trey Fonner and other Town staffers led three public water plant tours over the last two weeks. 13 citizens participated in the tours. More tours will be planned should the Town get requests. Please contact Trey at trey@townofsilt.org if you're interested.
- The Town met with JDS Hydro, a Grand Junction engineering firm, this week to discuss their work, paid for with a State of Colorado Department of Local Affairs grant. The company was secured to perform a review of the work done so far on the plant's capabilities and limitations, suggested remedial plans and financing.
- In the meantime, Dewberry Engineers, the Town's consulting and design firm will issue a Request for Qualifications in order to secure the services of a contractor to help nail down the actual costs of the plant under consideration.
- For more information on the work being done, please call Trey Fonner at 970-876-2353 x 106 or Jeff Layman at x 103.
