This rare photo shows two water towers at Coverdale, ostensibly in preparation for the demolition of one. The rhombic antenna masts seen in this photo are the replacement ones erected after the destruction of the previous antenna farm during the ice-storm of Jan 1956. (Photo by Ray White)
Dam Construction: Since the water supply at Coverdale was found inadequate for fire protection of the station, a new water supply system was scheduled for completion in January 1961. The system included a 20 million gallon reservoir approximately 1 mile from the station buildings. The dam was still under construction in the summer of 1961. (A DND photo provided by Don Cameron)
