A **Regional Water Survey** presented by Economic Development Officer L.

In 2022, Gull Lake approved an application submitted to SaskWater for a regional system to provide reliable, sustainable water to Gull Lake, Hazlet, and Cabri. Collaborating on such a system supports economic growth and addresses long-term water needs.
Concerns raised by M. Kettner from the Chinook Regional Library.
