A request for proposal (RFP) to engineer and design a new water tower in Wingham has been awarded to RJ Burnside & Associates.
RJ Burnside was awarded the the RFP for $160,059.88 which was separated in two parts of bidding.
The current water tower has been in place since 1974 with repairs made in 1984 with an audit done in 2015 discovering replacement of the tower was going to be needed.
The 2021 budget set aside $75,000 for engineering works related to the Wingham stand pipe which the audit in 2015 done by RJ Burnside showed the stand pipe had degraded and in need of immediate action.
