Serving Rural Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan’s rural residents have diverse needs when it comes to accessing water services.  Whether it’s potable water for a residence or small business or non-potable supply for agricultural or commercial use, a rural pipeline group is often the answer.

Rural pipeline groups, cooperative groups sometimes referred to as rural water associations or utility boards, can represent multiple landowners who pool their resources to purchase necessary infrastructure such as pipelines, pump houses and booster stations required to distribute water to their members.

SaskWater’s vast infrastructure network enables us to supply water to several rural pipeline groups, including some of the largest in the province.

We provide our rural pipeline customers with connections to our regional potable and non-potable water systems as well as access to certified operation and maintenance, remote monitoring and project management services to facilitate customer upgrades or new construction from the design stage through to completion.

We understand the operational challenges faced by rural pipeline groups and we have an extensive team of in-house operators and engineers to find solutions that work for you.
