The SCDA continues to work with C&Ds on getting their works approved per the Agricultural Water Management Strategy of 2015.

Currently, we are actively engaged with Drake North, Hunter Creek, Odessa Kendal, Marshall East, Egg Lake, Flowing Well, St. Gregor South, Kingsley, St. Peters, and Wascana to ensure that their works meet the standards outlined in the strategy.

Furthermore, we're pleased to announce that LeRoy West and Burr have received approval for their main stems from the Water Security Agency (WSA). Additionally, we're diligently working on securing approval for On-Farm Works in Ponass Lake, Burr, and LeRoy West, marking significant progress in our collective efforts.

We continue to encourage all C&Ds to get their works in compliance and provide the support, services, and resources to help you through the entirety of the process.
