Streets in Silt’s Tara and Eagle’s view subdivisions will get significant upgrades starting this spring. Town crews have already started replacing water valves in Tara, the first step is fixing both a water distribution problem and road surface issues. Up to five valves were found to be broken and ineffective at shutting water off in emergencies and are in the process of being replaced.
Following the waterworks improvements, Cottonwood and Dogwood will be milled and re-surfaced. If the budget makes it possible, depending on bids, Birch will also be completed.
Home Avenue will require some additional civil engineering work being completed over the next year or so and is likely to be rebuilt in 2024. In the meantime, potholes will be fixed along Home to make the driving experience a little more acceptable.
Also on the agenda for summer of ’23 is the complete rebuild of Eagle’s View Circle in the Eagle’s View subdivision. Due to poor road bed compaction, the street has been collapsing. This project is designed to bring it up to current standards.
Questions regarding these projects can be directed to Public Works Director Trey Fonner at 970.876.2353 or trey@townofsilt.org.

The Town of Silt Board of Trustees on April 10 will get a preview of Town’s new Turf Replacement Incentive Program (TRIP). Designed to help home and business owners reduce their irrigation water usage, the program will offer a 25 cent per square foot cash incentive for those who replace their turfgrass with less thirsty native species, other plantings and xeriscaping.
