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.
The expanded scope of the project and a more refined design has the Werklund Centre's modernization cost estimated at $345 million, up $75 million from previous estimates.
