The mystery pipe

I was walking along the access road for the BC Hydro Puntledge penstock pipeline when I spotted a section of old concrete pipe located quite close to this steel pipeline that runs perpendicular to the road – in other words, directly away from the Puntledge and toward the existing and former penstock pipelines. It’s located about 400 metres downstream from Duncan Bay Main.

If it had run just under the road I would have thought that perhaps it was a drainage culvert, however, it runs both under the road and toward Courtenay, and the pipe is quite thick. I have no idea, but someone will know – someone always knows…
