Lake West University Place
Saturday morning a water pipe leak caused an explosion of water that resulted in a lake like mass of water on the northeast quadrant of the West University Elementary School campus.
It started from this leak
MASSIVE LEAK: Lake West University Place
It was one of the highlights while we were making cars for the pinewood derby
Can;t blame this one on the drainage system, I wonder why there was so much water in Poor Farm Ditch.
I took my canoe out there. The fishing was poor.
I can’t recall anything like that happening around the school going back sixty something years. However, in the 1940s when it rained everything flooded. Kids loved it. The infrastructure work done in the 1990s was a smart move by the city and probably prevents like events. I assume HISD will fix the problem. At least West U doesn’t get sinkholes.
