At their regular meeting on September 27, Rocky View Council approved a budget adjustment to acquire a water licence with the Western Irrigation District (WID), giving access to 2500 acres per square foot or more than 3 million cubic meters of raw water. Byron Riemann is Infrastructure & Operations Director for Rocky View County. He says the agreement with the WID secures a long term supply of raw water for the Conrich region.

Rocky View Reeve, Rolly Ashdown, adds the new agreement was vital to securing the long term future growth of the Conrich area. With the development of water resources in the region, future customers will be able to access safe and drinkable water, opening up new growth opportunities.
