I asked about the lake at work today. And talking to someone who has the connections and knowledge says it is now scheduled for August.

As I hear more I will post.

Thanks Joe.

the other day I said to 4/DB they will Probably wait till winter again
then use that for an excuse to put it off another year.
August sounds good.

I agree, they usually don't move very quickly. I know I can't get up there today or Sunday but next week would probably work. Maybe I'll wait until say Wednesday and waste some gas just to see.

Re: DEER LAKE : Schuylkill County DREDGING STARTED Updated JULY 24 2008

just got a phone call from DKinPA

He says nothing is moving out there
and place looks the same as last Saturday.

So what ever the Hold-up is,

thanks, Jeff, you saved me a trip up RT61. I guess we'll just have to wait a bit longer. When they get finished I'll be there. With the price of gas I'm very thankful for the updates!

Sediment removed from Deer Lake

DEER LAKE — The borough’s drained lake is getting closer to being refilled as contractors continued removing sediment on Tuesday.

William Guers, owner of Guers Topsoil & Mulch Products Inc., New Philadelphia, said his crew has been working since last Thursday. Guers said the work will probably continue for a couple of weeks.

Deer Lake Borough Council President David B. Crouse, who is in charge of the project, said that the lake will be refilled once the sediment has been removed, which could be within a month, weather permitting.
