The Town of Silt has been notified that the Cactus Valley Ditch went off-line yesterday due to emergency repairs.
This ditch, managed by the Grand River Ditch Company, is a large portion of the Town’s irrigation water. During this time there may be shortages or outages of irrigation water.
Irrigation users should make sure to have the needed protection on pumps and systems to prevent damage.
Irrigation water should be restored to full capacity by Monday.
In the meantime, the Town encourages all users do their part by avoiding Friday irrigation use. If all work together, the tanks should still fill enough to have water for the weekend!

The Town of Silt recently received word that it had received a $904,000 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant that will allow the Town to finish the design and engineering work necessary for the pedestrian bridge over I-70.
The Federal TAP funds are for fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. Once the design is complete, the Town will work to secure funding for the construction project itself.
While still many years out, the grant is key to attracting additional funding to actually build the project. Silt's Public Works Director Trey Fonner wrote the grant with the assistance of Treasurer Amie Tucker providing accounting support.
(The diagram shown is a concept of what the pedestrian bridge might look like. It is subject to change).
