Delavan Lake Inlet Dredging Underway

     The Delavan Lake Inlet Dredging Project has begun.  The project, which will result in removal of 45,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediment from the Inlet, will entail dredging a 3,000 foot channel, upstream from the bridge on Hwy 50 out towards Jackson Creek.
     The channel will have a width ranging from 85 to 250 feet and the area dredged will have a range of five feet deep or to the hardpan bottom of the Inlet.  The project has been engineered by Peter Berrini of HDR Engineering and HDR is overseeing the project along with the Town of Delavan Lake Committee.

     The successful bidder for the actual dredging and the critical de-watering  process is JND Thomas.  JND Thomas is based out of Riverdale, California and has extensive experience in the dredging process and has already begun to locate the de-watering equipment behind the Fire Station located on Town Hall Rd.


       The sediment will be pumped from the dredge through fused pipes to the de-watering facility.  The contractor has begun building this pipeline as can be seen in the picture below.
     The actual dredging process is scheduled to begin on July 30, 2011.
