The province's priority evaluation on drainage results in 50 thousand dollars for the Rossendale drain. 

Scott Jackson -- a district superintendent of the Manitoba Watershed Association says it's a fair number, as it's the forecasted price of purchasing land to widen the drain.  

The money's part of a four million dollar announcement by Manitoba to fuel 29 drainage projects in the province.  Jackson stresses the funding is much needed, as it's been a while since any significant restoration has been done.   <>

The Rossendale drainage project is termed at four years and will cost nearly one million dollars.
