The Rural Municipality of La Broquerie has purchased lagoon land from a local land owner.

Reeve Lewis Weiss explains it's 8.1 acres south-west of the current lagoon and was purchased for approximately $200,000.  Weiss adds they may not start this year.

"We have no starting date yet.  It won't happen this year, it could happen the next year but we do definitely have a few other ducks to get in order before with different irrigation systems and stuff.  So that all has to be figured out first."

Weiss notes they will continue to save money for the project but are very thankful for the Provincial and Federal funding of $1.6 million.
