More research confirming the water pipeline theory: -----
1) http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri2000/jun2000/gr_109111_2000.html Quote: "Long before World War II, MWSS buried a 42-inch diameter steel aqueduct pipeline under the subject parcels of land. The pipeline drew water from the Wawa Dam in Montalban, Rizal to the Balara Filters in Quezon City. Fifteen (15) kilometers long, it ran through the municipalities of Montalban, San Mateo and Marikina." The MWSS property in Balara <http://osm.org/go/4zhTl11z?m> does indeed lie close to the "line". ----- 2) http://inquiry.theguidon.com/2009/08/service-for-the-settlers/ Quote: "Daan Tubo and Ronas Garden are owned by Manila Water Services and Meralco, respectively." Daan Tubo in this case is the informal settler area along Katipunan beside UP Diliman <http://osm.org/go/4zhTkJ36H-->. ----- Mystery closed? I must say that I find it amazing that this unused pipeline still shows it's presence even to this day in the form of roads, barangay boundaries, and informal settlers. :-D On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 10:36 PM, maning sambale <[email protected]> wrote: > This would be my guess as well. > On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 10:24 PM, Eugene Alvin Villar <[email protected]> wrote: >> 2) This is a water pipeline. > > > > -- > cheers, > maning > ------------------------------------------------------ > "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden > wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ > blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ > ------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
