St. Boniface Waterworks Water Tower

Drone aerial footage of the old St. Boniface Waterworks Water Tower, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Built as a large elevated steel storage tank in 1936 and then extended upward in 1945, the tower is a black steel tank atop a tall free-standing steel frame. It is a highly visible landmark and rare example of municipal infrastructure remaining from the period before St. Boniface amalgamated with metropolitan Winnipeg in 1972. The tower recalls the French-speaking community's efforts to attract investment and residents by establishing an early waterworks system (1904-12) that pumped water from artesian wells into concrete and underground reservoirs and into a tower for gravity feed through a network of distribution mains. After 1919, when a more plentiful and consistent supply of water became available through the Greater Winnipeg Water District (GWWD) aqueduct from Shoal Lake, St. Boniface continued to use elevated tank storage to boost local water pressure during periods of high demand.
