SILVER CREEK—Bids for dredging Silver Creek Harbor will be opened Thursday at a special meeting of the Silver Creek Village Board. The meeting is at 6 p. m. in Village Hall.

An initial bid opening was declined last week because officials noticed some confusion in the bid packages. According to Mayor Kurt Lindstrom, at least two sand and gravel bars need to be removed and the sand must be placed on the south side of the creek near the former Hideaway Bay Restaurant.

Board members agreed to the new bid opening at the regular meeting Monday.

No one spoke a public hearing Monday on a new local law to restrict back flow into the water system. After the hearing, board members unanimously approved the law that will require all commercial water connections to have back flow prevention devices.

The law also requires that a Water Department employee supervise an annual test on the back flow process.
