Poll
Yes
Tenders have been received for three pieces of Municipal District of Taber land. After council approved the tendering process for 30 acres of dry pasture near Grassy lake, nine acres of dry pasture near Purple Springs and 13 acres with Taber Irrigation District irrigation rights near Johnson’s Addition at council’s Feb. 23 meeting, the results were back in front of councillors at their March 23 meeting. Reeve Merrill Harris stepped out of council chambers due to a conflict of interest. Grassy Lake (three-year lease) bids came from Corns Farm and Ranch ($600 including taxes) and Corny Fehr ($500 including taxes).

With several residents on White Ash Road (Range Road 16-5) near Taber still searching to bring water to their residences, the request is once again making the rounds. After a letter addressed to council was received from Ian Armstrong, the topic was brought forward for their regular meeting held March 23. “We’re mostly looking for direction from council on this one, as to whether there is interest to look into information around supplying potable water to our country residential communities that are close to Taber or Barnwell. In this area, where we could potentially run potable water lines to, the request came in from residents on the White Ash Road – just north of Taber,” explained Stu Weber, director of Public Works.
