Does anybody know what is happening to the water tower on Lester Street
in Waterloo, near the universities, between University and Columbia?

The tank has been removed from the legs.  Is it going to be entirely
removed?

Adrian.

It's being completely removed.  For whatever reasons, now that Waterloo
is getting its water from the Grand River, we don't need it anymore.

Actually, it's a major practical joke perpetrated by the engineers...

That's good then - I wouldn't want to drink the water in that rusty old
thing anyway.  :-)
