The Town of Hay River will seek an extension for Porritt Landing dredging, which has to be done by the end of the fiscal year on March 31.
At the March 6 meeting of the Public Works Committee, councillors were told the work would not be done by that date.
"We're never going to get it by March 31," said Earle Dumas, the town's director of projects and planning, of the $21,000 dredging project.
Dumas said the project could be done by boating season.
The funding is from the Small Crafts Harbour Program of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
"If we don't have the funding in place then we can't do the work," said Deputy Mayor Donna Lee Jungkind. "So we'll have to see if there's any way that we can get an extension."
