Fire damage to Riverfront Stadium electrical system will cost Waterloo thousands
The electrical system at Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo was knocked out by a fire.
The city of Waterloo is facing a bill that is likely to exceed $50,000 to restore electricity to Riverfront Stadium following an electrical fire on January 4th.
Waterloo Leisure Services Director Paul Huting says investigators don’t yet know what caused the fire or the exact amount of damage it caused. “As far as we know, there was a short or some type of malfunction in the power system. It did significant damage,” Huting says. “(The fire) burned back into the lines quite a ways and we’re still accessing the total cost.”
