Overflowing Manhole
Montreal, QC - EvilGentleman - Monday, April 3rd, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Saw this up on the mountain in front of the Montreal Neurological Institute, at the corner of Pine Street and University Avenue today. Wonder where the water is originally coming from?

...from an underwater drainage infrastructure that is currently operating above capacity thanks to all the melting snow-piles?
though the water does look pretty clean...
elaine: oh, peter, you are so literal sometimes
Peter: ...it sure beats being a pedant ;)

jeeff, your mind works in scary directions
Peter, a few blocks west of here is a 6-foot diameter water main that has broken repatedly over the last 20 years, causing periodic rapids down Peel Street that usually end up shorting out the Metro station at the bottom, causing commuter chaos. However, having noticed about 20 trucks around different parts of the region pumping out manholes this morning (jeeff - quiet!), I would imagine you are right vis-a-vis the meltwater.

These discussions provide a welcome respite to the tedium of work! ;)

jeeff - hm. the earth god's enema?

Isn't this just before the cover blows off, injuring visiting Librarians...
