The Town of The Blue Mountains has selected CIMA Canada Inc. to provide engineering services for the rehabilitation of the Victoria Street water tower.
The town is planning for rehabilitation of the tower after an environmental assessment identified the best option was to reconstruct the tower. The work will include stripping the existing coating from the exterior and interior of the structure, exterior and interior steel repairs, interior lining upgrades and exterior coating upgrades.
The work is expected to extend the water tower’s service lifespan by 18-25 years.
Through this project, the town explored new design options for the water tower. Taking inspiration from the winding waters of the Beaver River, the rolling waves of Georgian Bay and the vast green space of the Niagara Escarpment and Beaver Valley, the town has produced a number of potential coating and design options for consideration. These designs are scheduled to be presented by staff at council’s committee of the whole meeting on November 1, 2022. The staff report on the matter can be found here.
Members of the public can learn more about the project, and subscribe for project updates, on the town’s project page here.
