Odessa Water Tower
Project Status
The Odessa Water Tower was put back in service on July 27, 2023.
Project Overview
The Odessa Water Tower underwent necessary rehabilitation work in 2023. The rehabilitation project involved the replacement of the interior liner as well as various safety upgrades and exterior renovations. The project was awarded to Landmark Municipal Services and work began at the end of March 2023.
Landmark Municipal Services has over 40 years of experience in municipal water tower maintenance and water tank repair and inspection services. The new liner complies with NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 regulations, as do all other drinking water system components.
The tower was out of service from mid-April until July to complete the revitalization of this critical piece of infrastructure.

SR- 2259 - Award of RFP 2022-33 - Odessa Water Tower Rehabilitation
Background
The Odessa Water Tower was constructed in 1978 and provides 900 m³ of water storage to the Fairfield Water Distribution system. An inspection of the tower conducted in November 2021 identified that its interior liner had reached the end of its useful life and was in need of replacement. The same inspection also identified that several other components of the tower needed to be replaced, such as the exterior access ladder and various safety equipment, or repaired, such as access hatches. These findings, along with a least one observable leak thought to be originating from the tower’s interior liner, led staff to recommend that the rehabilitation of the Odessa water tower be scheduled for the spring of 2023.
