On Monday, August 12, 2024, at the Peru Town Board meeting, Councilman Eric Duquette and the board thanked Courtney Tetrault, Mike Farrell, and their personnel for working together last week to dredge the town’s water reservoir. Dredging the reservoir has been planned for several months. Tetreault drained it, and then, following heavy rainfall, the reservoir filled and overflowed. The Water-Sewer-Parks and Highway Departments drained the reservoir and hauled away about 150 truckloads of sediment and organic material built up since 2012/13. They trucked the material a short distance to the town’s old dump on the Barney Downs Road. Dredging removes sediment and organic material. It’s done to improve capacity and water quality

Thank you to Courtney Tetrault for providing these photos.
