This process comes with consistent loud noise
Repairs to Brockville’s water tower continue with crews removing the existing paint on the structure to implement a new protective coating, repair the interior, and upgrade safety rails to meet modern standards.
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.
This process comes with consistent loud noise, and nearby residents on Chaffey Street say they've been affected by this for weeks.

This woman says it's been frustrating.
This gentleman says he's had to leave the neighbourhood for his mental health.
Brockville Mayor Matt Wren says it won't be long now.
The water tower, built in 1953, was last painted in 2002.
