Saskatchewan, Canada to begin $2 million water infrastructure upgrades
(UI) — The Water Security Agency (WSA) is set to invest over $2 million in five critical water infrastructure projects across Southwest Saskatchewan. These upgrades, aimed at strengthening dams, weirs, and reservoirs, are scheduled to begin in 2024-25.
Among the key projects, WSA will undertake a multi-year renovation of the Val Marie Dam, including a spillway replacement, currently in the procurement phase. Additionally, the West Val Marie Dam will undergo significant rehabilitation.
The Summercove Dam will see a $650,000 investment in planning and design for spillway, outlet, and rip-rap repairs. Other planned improvements include a small-scale rehabilitation at Wilson Weir on Battle Creek, and preliminary design work for spillway repairs at Lafleche Dam.
These initiatives are part of WSA's 10-Year Rolling Infrastructure Rehabilitation Plan, focused on ensuring long-term safety and security for Saskatchewan residents.
WSA may restrict access to certain sites during construction to ensure public safety and apologizes for any inconvenience.
In 2024-25, WSA plans to allocate over $42 million to more than 60 water infrastructure projects across the province. Since 2007, the agency has invested approximately $280 million in Saskatchewan’s water management infrastructure.
