The Saskatchewan government and four irrigation districts have completed asset transfers and agreed to infrastructure funding arrangements.
The deal moves about 90 percent of provincial irrigation assets into the hands of the district irrigators, said deputy agriculture minister Rick Burton.
The transfer has been contentious at times because irrigators said they didn’t want assets that were in poor repair and would put them millions of dollars in debt to fix.
