Underground Drainaige

INFORMATION

A large storm drain system was discovered in Gatineau, Quebec. This is not a sewage pipe and is safe to walk in. This pipe was created simply to divert water away from houses from a nearby stream to the Ottawa River. While this site may not be grand or beautiful it is an excellent example of modern engineering and is an interesting visit.
