Silver Lake Water Project Completed Below Budget
SILVER LAKE - Applause was given for a job well done to the engineering representatives, contractor and town superintendent Tuesday to mark the finalization of the water line project in town and around Silver Lake. About 25 people attended Tuesday's meeting. The work came in under bid, too, costing $56,607,23 less than originally estimated, according to change orders presented by Triad Engineering representative Tracey Trinpe. The board approved payments of $74,471.41 for materials delivered and partial payment to All Star Construction of $184,863.38. A certificate of substantial completion was presented to board members Mabel Enyeart, Wilbur Brake and Stanley Williams Oct.5. The nine-month project isn't quite finished, however, as Trinpe explained, until a sign at the corner of Amelia and Pleasant streets is replaced.
