Merritt creating lined pit for disposal of silt

The City of Merritt is in the process of building a lined pit for the disposal of silt removed from resident’s yards and basements.

It is expected this site should be available for use by Tuesday December 7th. It will be located off Airport Road.

“The City requests that residents and contractors do not dump the material on the Claybanks Overflow. This site is not able to contain any contaminants that may be present, and the material will eventually need to be relocated. Please store your material onsite until the disposal site is ready,” reads the release.
