About Sandbox

  • This is a place for a few people who work at a newspaper in Kitchener-Waterloo to share stories and pictures that wouldn't necessarily fit in newsprint.

    Think of Sandbox as an online magazine that collects extraneous journalism. If therecord.com was a DVD, we'd be the special features.

    Current contributors: David Bebee, Colin Hunter, Ben Gelinas, Chris Wilson-Smith, Karlo Berkovich, Ryan Chen-Wing, Dan Belgue and Amy Fuller.

Suds spewed out of storm drain in Cambridge

Dan Black e-mailed in photos of white foam spewing out of a drain into the intersection of King and Fountain Streets.

Suds or something were flooding this intersection as cars were doing what every they could to avoid it but at the same time slowing down to see the odd showing suds.

Look at the photos below. Comment to let us know whether you saw the suds too or whether you know where they came from.

Probably with the rivers running so high and fast it has backed up a valve somewhere and ?sewer water is getting in somehow?

Perhaps they could have come from the car wash at the Petro Can station.

It could be a combination of those things. Car wash water could be backing up from a storm drain.

Thanks.
