Zebra Mussels Found in Aquarium Moss Ball Products

Zebra mussels have been found in moss/algal ball products for aquariums or water gardens sold in western Canada, including in Saskatchewan, after January 1, 2021. These products are often sold as Marimo Moss Balls and are a popular ornamental plant kept with betta fish. Zebra mussels pose a serious threat to Saskatchewan waterways, so it’s critical to properly dispose of any of these products you have in your possession.

Please visit the Government of Saskatchewan website for further information, including instructions on how to properly dispose of products that may have zebra mussels in them:

Thank you for doing your part to keeping our lakes safe!

Water station users – Clarification re: Transaction notification emails

We would like to remind water station users that the email you receive after you take water is a receipt for water taken only.  The `previous balance` and `balance remaining` at the bottom of that email are not updated at this time.  We are working with the software company to integrate our accounting records (payments, etc.) with the totals that show up on these emails.  To see an example of what we are referring to, please visit our website.

The volume and $ amount should be checked each time for accuracy.  A reminder that we send invoices on a quarterly basis, which include charges for water taken for the three-month period.  You are welcome to make payments throughout the quarter, but are not obligated to until an invoice is issued from the office.

Any questions please do not hesitate to call the office at 306-256-3281 or email [email protected].
