Here’s what to expect with the project
Repairs to Brockville’s water tower will start in the coming weeks, with no expected impact on water service.
City council approved a $2.7-million bid from Landmark Municipal Services of Burlington, Ont., to restore the Perth Street tower.
A funding shortfall of $773,204 will come from the water rate working capital reserve.
Crews will remove the existing paint, apply a new protective coating, repair the interior, and upgrade safety rails to meet modern standards.
The water tower, built in 1953, was last painted in 2002.
A 2022 assessment found the current coating too thick and recommended removing all layers down to bare metal before applying a new primer and protective system.
City officials say the work is essential to maintaining safe and reliable water storage.
The project is expected to take several months, though exact timelines have not been released.
