Ottawa Now - Iconic water tower in Smiths Falls set to meet its maker

July 10, 2026

An iconic water tower from 1924 has greeted drivers entering Smiths Falls from every direction for over a century. However, that local skyline will soon change forever, as City Council has voted to proceed with demolition. Officials call it a difficult decision, but say the cost to investigate and repair the out-of-service structure is simply too high. Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
