Lakes Dredging Update

Editor’s note: The following information was provided by the City of Whitewater.


Work Schedule for week of February 6 – February 13

  • Crews will work through the weekend (Feb 4-6), one crew on Sunday working Trippe Lake.
  • No work is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday due to warmer temperatures and snow.
  • Wednesday through Sunday, crews will plan to work 24 hours with most work occurring at night due to the cold temperatures.
    *All work is dependent on weather and the worksite conditions. The ground must be frozen by 18″ in order to allow large equipment to drive on and add dirt to loading trucks. Mats are laid on the ground that is not frozen enough to allow vehicles to drive on without sinking. If warmer temperatures and the sun begin to defrost the ground, work must stop to keep equipment from sinking and work can resume when the outdoor temperatures drop again.

Trippe Lake

Dredging started this past Wednesday and crews are working from the middle of Trippe Lake and moving south at this point. They will continue to remove sediment along the planned channel eventually moving north in the following week.

Cravath Lake

Dredging on Cravath started this past Wednesday, Feb 2nd. The dredge area is at the south end of the lake and they will continue to work north towards the park over the next week.
