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.

We at the Town of Silt work hard to understand what our citizens need and want!  We understand that it can sometimes be difficult to call and express concern about a condition or issue.  In order to respond to this, we’ve now installed a “Suggestion Box” in the lobby at Town Hall, 231 N. 7^th Street.  Although we’ll respond to folks who ask for a return call, there is no requirement to give your name or contact info to lodge a suggestion! 

Town Hall is open from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and we can be reached at (970) 876-2353.  Thank you for taking an interest in our Town and providing feedback!
