The history of SaskWater goes back to 1966, when we began operations as the Saskatchewan Water Supply Board. The head office was relocated from Regina to Watrous in 1977, and in 1984, the Saskatchewan Water Corporation was created with its head office in Moose Jaw. All the personnel and property of the former Board were transferred to the new corporation.
In 2002, the provincial government developed a Drinking Water Strategy that drove changes throughout Saskatchewan and SaskWater received a new mandate to operate exclusively as a commercial water utility. The Saskatchewan Water Corporation Act allows SaskWater to construct, acquire, manage or operate water and wastewater infrastructure and any other services in accordance with any agreements that it enters into pursuant to the Act. All provincial water resource management activities such as water licensing and source water protection are the responsibility of the Water Security Agency.
