Is it worth millions to repair a leaning landmark in High River?

An Alberta resident is in a desperate fight to save one of High River’s remaining landmarks at risk of being demolished.

The century-old water tower wasn’t touched by the flood waters, and many say that’s all the more reason to save it from the wrecking ball.

A petition circulating online is hoping to get enough signatures to convince council to get the repair cost re-assessed.
