I'm glad you posted this. I've been thinking about manholes for quite awhile, but didn't think there was public sewer and water in this area. I've read about septic tanks but nothing about public sewer. If there are manholes, those for sewer lines and storm water drainages can be quite large. Definitely large enough to put a person in. If the body is dropped on the ledge it could reasonably stay there and not be washed downstream until a flooding condition existed and depending upon the length of time its been there could easily avoid notice unless it was caught on screens that are in place to catch large debris before it gets into the treatment plants basins. As long as those screens aren't totally blocked it should not cause any sewage backups into homes, etc. I don't know if this type of system is in place and what type of line maintenance programs are in place if there is public sewer.
Just something I've been thinking about.
Hey Mel! There are some of those larger drainage systems in downtown MB, the older section-not far from Broadway. The ones that are like rectangular cut out areas underneath the curb. If that makes sense to you, sorry don't know official term. They usually have bar like vertical grates. But you can see into some of them. I can remember during heavy rain thinking my dog could get washed down one of them. The 10th ave water treatment may have like pools, if that seems reasonable. My ex husband and I used to have a saying "the wind is coming from 10th ave.". Meaning it seemed of well-death. This is the 10thaveN/ mr. Joe white ave that caused so much confusion in the begining bc of the two names for one street.
