Silt's newest playground met with approval from its young users Wednesday morning, when about 35 youngsters and their parents, grandparents, caregivers and Town Staff showed up for the ribbon cutting.  

Maelee Kirk did the honors, cutting the new Eagles View Park playground is officially open.

Eagle's View Park received a $180,000 facelift with a new playground and fall protection system. 

The Town contracted with a playground company to supply and install the new playground and utiized its own crews to install the fall protection.

Due to some injuries and illnesses among the Town's public works crewmembers, the project took a bit longer than was expected, but judging from the shouts and smiles from the kids on Wednesday, it was worth the wait.

The Town of Silt made its annual water quality report available on the Town's website June 30.  To access the report, click here CCR

The Town's constant goal is to provide residents with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water.  Overall the Town's performance was good, with only one minor paperwork filing violation.

This year, however, the Town's water system recently violated a drinking water requirement.  Although this situation is not an emergency, as our customers you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.  A routine drinking water inspection conducted this spring by the State drinking water program identified a violation related to the documentation of the installation and testing of backflow devices at residential and commercial properties in Town.
