Town Offers Incentive Program to Reduce Irrigation Water Use
A new Town irrigation program designed to help home and business owners reduce their irrigation water usage was approved by the Silt Board of Trustees last spring. Participants in the program will be offered a one dollar per square foot incentive for replacing their turfgrass with less thirsty native species, other plantings and other xeriscaping. Home and business owners will not only be able to qualify for the incentive, but also may qualify for lower irrigation fees, depending on how much turf they replace.
The program, dubbed Turf Replacement Incentive Program (TRIP), is eligible to any home or business owner in Town who currently has turfgrass.
Horseshoe Pits Coming Soon to Stoney
Town crews have been busy building a new horseshoe pits facility in Silt’s Stoney Ridge Park, between the skate park and the baseball field.
The Town has used money from its General Fund, Conservation Trust Fund and Park Impact Fee Fund.
The pits should be open in time for Silt Hey Day on August 19!
See you at the tournament!

Property Owners Responsible for Trimming Trees; Bushes
Silt property owners are responsible for trimming trees and bushes on their properties. It is important to keep trees trimmed to above 13 feet above streets and 10 feet above sidewalks. It is also important to trim so that sidewalks are passable.
Property owners should comply with this requirement so that kids and other walkers can safely use our sidewalks.
