The Wiwa Creek Conservation & Development Area is tendering a Provincial Disaster Assistance Program project.  The Wiwa Creek C&D project will require an Engineer and a Contractor to complete the replacement and repairs to the Saskatchewan Water Security approved cement control structure on the Wiwa Creek on the SE 2-13-6 W3 in the RM of Shamrock. The structure is located south west of the Village of Shamrock.  The project needs to be replaced to its original specifications.
