Wawa Municipal Council's considering the future of the downtown drill rig.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explains safety concerns have been raised over the angle of the large piece of equipment.
Patterson says a structural engineer was called in to look at the issue, confirming the rig is leaning - not a problem with the ground - with a few options considered in response, including doing nothing - nixed by the engineer due to the public safety concerns - or removing the mast of the rig.
Removing the rig entirely is another option being considered, and Patterson notes it could be auctioned for scrap - which could reduce the expense of having it removed - and he does see some opportunity if that's done.
The final option is to repair the rig, and Patterson acknowledges some interest in that.
Council is set to discuss and potentially make a decision in their upcoming meeting on Tuesday, September 19th, particularly as the engineer recommends "something" be done by the winter.
