Wagg Creek
North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Large diameter corrugated metal storm pipe continually discharging a large volume of water into a pool created by rip rap.
The catchment for this pipe possibly extends above Hwy 1 to the east branch (Tempe Heights) of Wagg Creek; then southward bordered on east by Greenwood Park; down to E. 20th, including London Drugs and one block of Lonsdale. A large impervious catchment, noted as pipes over capacity in 2020 CNV/DNV ISMP.
