Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program (FRWIP) — Dugout, Pipeline and Well Rebate

Reliable water access is essential for Saskatchewan farms and ranches, whether it’s keeping livestock watered, supporting crop spraying, or expanding greenhouse production. The Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program (FRWIP) — Dugout, Pipeline and Well Rebate is designed to help agricultural businesses invest in long-term, sustainable water systems that strengthen day-to-day operations and reduce risk from drought or supply issues. Delivered by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, the program helps offset a significant portion of the cost of building or expanding key water infrastructure.

Through this rebate stream, eligible agricultural producers can receive non-repayable funding covering up to half of project costs, with total support reaching as high as roughly $75,000 over the life of the program. Support applies to projects such as new or expanded dugouts, on-farm pipelines, and wells used for agricultural purposes. Because projects must be fully completed before reimbursement, the program is particularly well suited for producers planning capital improvements and looking to recover a portion of their investment once construction is finished.

The FRWIP rebate is currently accepting applications and is part of a broader effort to support resilient agricultural operations across Saskatchewan. For producers considering water infrastructure upgrades, reviewing the full program details can help determine how this funding may fit into your farm or ranch plans.
