That's pretty much how it went down. CIM wasn't going to be granted a water license from the City of Calgary, and they were also turned away when they wanted to get their water from the Red Deer River. The Western Irrigation District (WID) then stepped up and made an agreement with the developers.
+1 for Doug's comments. Good assessment.
