MOOSE MOUNTAIN DAM RECEIVES $1.7 MILLION REHABILITATION

Released on September 26, 2012

Building on the Government of Saskatchewan's commitment to infrastructure investment, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority will spend $1.74 million to rehabilitate Moose Mountain Dam, northeast of Weyburn in the Souris River Watershed.

"Maintaining our water infrastructure is key to our government's vision for resource management in Saskatchewan," Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority Ken Cheveldayoff said. "This investment will help safeguard the health, safety and reliability of this watershed now and in the years to come."

Constructed in 1937, the Moose Mountain Dam provides flood control, recreation and wildlife and fish habitat for the region.

The rehabilitation work will begin in early October and be completed by the end of November and will include the construction of a fish passageway that will allow migrating fish access to the reservoir.

Moose Mountain Dam holds more than 11.5 million cubic metres of water and is one of 45 dams owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority. To learn more about the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority and Moose Mountain Dam, visit www.swa.ca.
