Melfort residents asked for input on water tower’s future
The City of Melfort wants to hear from residents about the future of the water tower.
A formal inspection of the iconic structure in 2023 indicated the roof and cladding is in need of repair with an estimated cost of around $400,000.
The City has launched an online survey to get feedback from Melfort citizens as the City assesses the future of the structure.
“Given the level of investment required for repairs or potential removal, it’s important that community priorities help inform the decision,” said Community Development Coordinator Kayla Prefontaine. “We’re looking to understand how residents value the water tower, whether preserving it is important to the community, or if there is support for removal and avoiding ongoing maintenance costs.”
