The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise residents that CIMA Canada Inc. (CIMA+) has been retained to provide engineering services for the rehabilitation of the Victoria Street Water Tower.
Rehabilitation of the Victoria Street Water Tower was identified as a preferred alternative solution through the West Side Water Storage Environmental Assessment. The rehabilitation project will include full stripping of 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, an opportunity was identified for the Town to explore 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 through Staff Report FAF.22.163 to the Town’s Committee of the Whole for consideration at their meeting on November 1, 2022.
Members of the public can learn more about the project, and subscribe for project updates, on the Town’s project page at: www.thebluemountains.ca/WaterTowerRehab
