History of standpipe
The tower was moved to its present location (1998) when a night club stood on the property. The owner's request to have it painted as a beer can was turned down. Plans to open a gift shop in the bottom part never materialized.
Area information
Portage la Prairie is a small city in the Central Plains Region of Manitoba. The city is approximately 75 kilometres (47 mi) west of Winnipeg, along the Trans-Canada Highway and sits on the Assiniboine River, which flooded the town persistently until a diversion channel north to Lake Manitoba (the Portage Diversion) was built to divert the flood waters.
