Did you know it’s an old stormwater pipe from under the streets, and that the wetlands it is laid over are a part of an innovative-yet-simple system that uses plant life to clean the rainwater that pours into them from the streets of this neighbourhood instead of having the dirty, oily water going directly into the ocean like it does from EVERY OTHER STORM DRAIN in our city?
