The fight to save High River's water tower has come to an end.

Just a couple of months after starting a drive to save the 100-year old tower local photographer, Monique Esposito, says the old adage is true.

"You can't fight City Hall."

"I spoke with a lot of people and found out there were other issues in town too. Other people trying to save different things like the Wallace House. They had a whole committee and they tried so hard. But even with everything that they had behind them the 'Good Old Boys Club' would not listen."

Esposito says she felt like she's at least taken her shot.

"I did know it was going to be quite the task. But you've got to try. You never know if you don't try. And I'm not the person to sit back and watch things happen."

She says the loss will affect future generations.

"Because they will only have one or two buildings to look back from on our past. And when you're up against a group of people that really don't care what you say or what the Town says, they just do whatever they want anyway. Where am I supposed to go from there? You know?"

High River's previous Town Council voted to demolish the tower because of the high cost of restoring and maintaining it.

There's no immediate plans to demolish the water tower.
