The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is advising the public that the Wheatley Water Tower will be undergoing scheduled rehabilitation. Construction crews have already started mobilizing to the site. This work will not impact water delivery or water pressure in Wheatley.
The project involves sand blasting and recoating both the interior and exterior of the water tower. Safety fencing will be installed around the construction area to protect workers and the public.
The construction period will be from April 2026 to October 2026. Construction is scheduled to take place between the hours 7am to 5pm with occasional work taking place on weekends.
Final restoration work, including topsoil replacement, seeding, and fence repairs is scheduled for October 2026.
The Municipality of Chatham-Kent appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure maintenance is completed.
Please contact the CK Public Utilities Commission at ckpuc@chatham-kent.ca with any questions.
