PRINCE ALBERT RURAL WATER PIPELINE COMPLETED

Released on October 20, 1995

Completion of a new rural water pipeline serving the RM of Prince
Albert was officially marked today by the federal, provincial and
municipal governments.

Prince Albert-Churchill River MP Gordon Kirkby, on behalf of federal
Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Ralph Goodale; Eldon Lautermilch,
Minister responsible for Sask Water; Prince Albert Mayor Don Cody; and
Charlie Phelps, reeve of the RM of Prince Albert, participated in an
official opening ceremony.

The 120-kilometre pipeline will serve 125 subscribers under the Prince
Albert Rural Water Utility Board. The new water source will increase
economic development opportunities for area businesses, including hog,
dairy and beef producers, as well as an oilseed processing operation.

The rural pipeline will be supplied from a City of Prince Albert
municipal supply line at the city's south end. By sharing its treated
water with the rural community, the city will generate additional
revenue and contribute to economic growth in the region.

Total cost of the project was $1.34 million, with federal and
provincial funding of $210,000 provided under the Partnership Agreement
of Water-Based Economic Development (PAWBED). PAWBED is a
multi-million-dollar federal-provincial cost-shared agreement to
facilitate the removal of water-based constraints to economic development.

The project also received a contribution of $130,000 under the Rural
Water Development Program. The program is administered by Agriculture
and Agri-Food Canada's Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration
(PFRA). The balance of the pipeline's cost, $1 million, was paid by
subscribers.

"This project illustrates how government can work co-operatively with
producers and businesses to enhance the economic viability of rural
areas," Kirkby said. "For the RM of Prince Albert, this pipeline opens
up new opportunities for economic growth which were not previously
feasible."

"Local, provincial and federal government co-operation on this project
does more than just supply a high quality and quantity of water for
rural residents," Lautermilch said. "This pipeline means one less
obstacle for everyone who wants to stay on the farm and continue the
great tradition of rural life."

Under its Water Supply Infrastructure program, PAWBED will help
communities, non-profit organizations, and commercial operations
construct water supply works required to support specific economic
initiatives.

PAWBED is administered by PFRA and Sask Water.
