As a young lad growing up,this water tower was what I would look for to let me know we were almost home after a trip away.Visible from a good 5 miles away,it was always reassuring to see.There was much debate whether to spend money on refurbishing this landmark built in 1906 or to tear it down.In the end over $1 million was spent on bringing it up to date and it is now one of only 36 functioning water towers left in Alberta.
