History
In 1993, a committee made up of RM of Prince Albert residents was formed. At that time their aim was to ensure a safe and adequate supply of water to their families and operations.
By 1995, the 120-kilometers of pipeline was completed for the initial 125 subscribers. That water source was vital for area businesses such as hog, beef, and dairy producers, and an oilseed processing operation.
The PARWU partnered with the City of Prince Albert as Prince Albert would become the main source for the water for PARWU.
Since the initial pipeline was completed, it has expanded. On November 8, 1996 a signing between the PARWU and Muskoday First Nations took place at the Muskoday Community Hall. The signing was witnessed by chief of Muskoday First Nations Austin Bear, Colin Sheldon who is the chairman of PARWU, Lawrence Joseph, councillor with the City of Prince Albert, Ray Gamercy, a representative of Indian Affairs, plus a number of Muskoday residents. Although Muskoday was notified a year and a half earlier that the pipeline was going in their direction. They were in negotiations until the November 8th signing. The pipeline in Muskoday went towards rectifying the water problem facing the reserve.
