City crews have begun annual winterization of the 450 irrigation systems in Saskatoon parks and along roadway streetscapes. Winterization is an important maintenance procedure to help ensure the longevity of the City’s irrigation infrastructure.

Irrigation winterization involves the use of large compressors that force air through the irrigation system, removing any residual water so it will not freeze within the underground pipes. The force of compressed air exiting through sprinkler heads may pick up and propel debris within the work zone.

The City wants to warn residents about an identified scam involving phone calls, texts or emails appearing to come from Saskatoon Light and Power. The message indicates that the resident either has a utility refund or that they are owed money due to over-billing, a web link is then included to provide your banking information. Scammers typically use the information they gather this way to get money or commit identity theft.

A number of concerned residents have contacted the City on this matter.
