Town of Delavan makes progress on pledges
The Town of Delavan has made tremendous progress on pledges made to citizens already this year. In a tough economic environment, the town has shown what fiscal responsibility and cooperation among board supervisors can achieve. The town embarked on two large municipal projects this year. First is the Inlet dredging project. This project, the largest Delavan Lake project in 20 years, planned to remove over 45,000 tons of phosphorus laden sediment from the Inlet to improve and ensure continued lake water quality. The project is on track to be completed November 1, on budget. Second is the reconstruction of South Shore Drive. This project, extending from Baily Road to County O, is putting in new culverts, a mulit-use path and new surface for the entire distance. The effort will enhance the safety of the road, allow space for walkers, bikers, and joggers, and improve storm water management along the drive. The reconstruction is on track to be completed November 15.
