With locations in Saskatoon and Regina, we are dedicated to helping customers across Saskatchewan find the right solution for their needs—whether it’s clean water for your home, reliable systems for your farm, or service support for your equipment. Our experienced in-house service team is here to offer expert advice and dependable repair services for any water-related challenges you may face.
Our story began in 1968 when Arnold Wig founded Wig’s Sandpoint Services Ltd. in Saskatoon. As the need for rural water and septic systems grew, so did the company’s capabilities. Over time, we expanded our offerings and rebranded as Wig’s Pumps and Waterworks to reflect our broader range of services and then in 2024 we rebranded again to Wig’s Pumps & Water Treatment.
Today, as Wig’s Pumps & Water Treatment, we are proud to be a locally owned, family-run Saskatchewan business. Our knowledgeable team provides solutions in water treatment, pump systems, repairs, and beyond. As part of the Aquifer Group of Companies—alongside Aquifer Distribution Ltd. Anderson Pump House, Clark’s Supply & Service and Flo-Essence Plumbing, Hearth & Decor—we continue to serve communities across the province, delivering solutions today for a better life tomorrow.
Our History
1968
Wig’s Sandpoint Services was started by Arnold Wig. The company first focused on the installation of water and spetic systems for the acreage community around Saskatoon.
1972
Arnold Wig purchased his first Gus Pech water well boring rig along with two rotary test rigs to enter the well drilling business.
1977
Arnold sold the drilling rigs to the crew members who were working for him and started subcontracting that work. As the demand for rural water and septic systems grew so did the company. Arnold shifted the focus of Wig’s Sandpoint Services to pumps, water treatment, pipe sales, and installation.
1979
Glenn Wig joined the company and helped grow the municipal water treatment area of business across Saskatchewan.
1981
Glenn recognized the need for a strong wholesale distribution company to support the contractor network of pump dealers across Saskatchewan and started Aquifer Pump Distributing Ltd. and acquired the Goulds Pumps distributorship for Saskatchewan.
1984
As the company grew a new branch in Regina was opened to help the company better serve customers in southern Saskatchewan.
1986
Glenn purchased Wig’s Sandpoint Services Ltd from Arnold and Sophie Wig.
1995
Glenn purchased a new building in Saskatoon at 227 Venture Crescent to bring both Wig’s Sandpoint Services and Aquifer Pump Distributing into the same facility.
2006
The Regina branch got a new building at 915 McDonald Street to further grow its operations. Wig’s Sandpoint Services Ltd was changed to Wig’s Pumps and Waterworks to better represent the actual business activities.
2013
Glenn completed an amalgamation with Wig’s Pumps and Waterworks Ltd and brought it under the umbrella of Aquifer Distribution Ltd.
2019
The Saskatoon branch moved into a much larger facility to allow us to be in the same building as Aquifer Distribution and Flo-Essence Hearth and Decor.
2024
To better suit the primary product category Wig’s Pumps and Waterworks was renamed to Wig’s Pumps and Water Treatment. This change also came with the removal of our outside service team to grow our water treatment distribution to our dealers.
2025
In March 2025 McPherson Pumps in Regina joined the Aquifer Group of Companies to grow our Wig’s Pumps & Water Treatment branch in Regina as we prepared the move to a new locations.
On May 26th of this year the Regina branch grew into a brand new location similar to our Saskatoon branch. This building gave Wig’s Pumps & Water Treatment it’s own area to operate out of and showroom space to better serve the Regina area.
