Dredging kicks off at Meaford Harbor

In-water dredging work at Meaford Harbor will begin this week, the Municipality of Meaford said.

The dredging operations are set to remove built-up sand, silt, and natural material from the harbor bottom to help improve boating access and keep the harbor safe and usable. 

“Dredging is needed because material has built up on the harbor bottom over time, making parts of the harbor shallower. Removing this material will help improve safe boating access and support harbor operations. In-water dredging can only happen during an approved environmental timing window to help reduce impacts to fish, wildlife, and the surrounding water,” the Municipality said.

Dredging work will continue until mid-October.
