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.”
