A sign of Swift Current's growth, the City will be committing an extra $35,000 making the community be able to support more residents.

Following AECOM's 2010 Servicing Master Plan for Swift Current, water pressure deficiencies in the North Pressure Zone were identified. This discovery prompted the City of Swift to utilize AECOM's services once more to do the North Hill Pump Station Hydraulic Analysis, which recommended the installation of 2.9 kilometres of 450mm water feeder main to fix the pressure problem.

The main will be going from the North Hill Reservoir to the Sask Valley Residential Development if completed.

The result of the infrastructure being put in would be improved water supply to the Springs Valley Commercial and North East Urban Expansion Areas.

AECOM completed those detailed designs and draft tender documents for under the budgeted $100,000 amount.

Yet another review was recommended by AECOM, which is said to find out the amount of growth that can be sustained before constructing the North Hill Reservoir feeder main.

Saskatoon-based engineering-consultant-company WSP has agreed to carry out the review recommended by AECOM, at a cost to the City of $35,000, taking funds from the Property and Development Fund to carry out.

Mitch Minken, general manager of infrastructure and operations for Swift Current, said that the review is required to get a timeline of construction.

"We're ready basically to go to construction at this point, what we want this additional funding for is to step back and look at when we should be making that investment, when it is absolutely necessary to make."

On Monday City council approved an additional $35,000 from the 2019 Capital Budget for the project.

Councillor George Bowditch said that the improvements were necessary for the city to complete.

"I think this is a very very important program because we have to have enough water up there for everything, for the firefighting requirements, and for the people up there that perhaps consider that this will water their lawns... it's needed."

The project is estimated to cost the City $8.5 million.
