PIKE LAKE PROJECT A SUCCESS

Released on June 29, 2000

A new dike on the South Saskatchewan River is providing high and maintainable

water levels for summer recreation activities on Pike Lake for the first time

in years.



A natural shift in the course of the river began a few years ago, making it

difficult to sustain desirable water levels on Pike Lake. Last summer, Sask

Water and Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management (SERM) split the

approximate $760,000 cost to divert river flows to Sask Water's pump station on

the west bank.



This diversion project -- located approximately 24 kilometres southwest of

Saskatoon -- allows the pump site to deliver water via a supply canal to Pike

Lake, about 2.5 kilometres west of the river.



"In May we installed a large pump in the river and the water level on Pike Lake

is currently at the top of its desirable operating range," Maynard Sonntag,

minister responsible for Sask Water said. I expect anybody visiting the lake

this long weekend and over the summer will be very pleased with what this

initiative has accomplished."



Construction of the dike has caused no negative effects downstream of the

project and Sask Water does not anticipate any significant effects in the

future.
