Dear Irrigators,
The 2025 irrigation season is on the horizon.
With the recent dry and windy conditions, our teams are working hard to accelerate the timeline for startup and crews are preparing for the upcoming irrigation season.
We anticipate that water will be available to many parts of the district by May 2, and across the district through the week of May 5, weather permitting and the commissioning of new pipelines.
Based on the most recent Irrigation Water Supply Forecast supplied by Alberta Agriculture & Irrigation, the supply volume is consistent with the previous forecast. The initial water allocation has been set at 12” at the farm gate for the 2025 irrigation season. We will continue to monitor this data throughout the season and provide water supply updates on a monthly basis.
Please do not phone your water coordinator during this busy time, as they are working hard to ensure your system is prepped for the upcoming irrigation season.
