This is a picture of the water that rushes out of the holes in the curb every day or two in order to clean our street. In case you're trying to read what it says on the metal plate, it says not to drink the water. You got it, fellas--promise. While NYC-style car-moving for street cleaning is a total pain for people with cars, I have to wonder:Isn't this a huge waste of water, or does it somehow get recycled in a useful manner?
Maybe they just count on it evaporating and coming back as rain in a few months. In my experience, France isn't really about using the fewest resources to get the job done or their would be more pooper scoopers and fewer men driving the little sidewalk cleaning vehicles around. Besides, after taking a good look at Parisian streets, would you really want to recycle that water before it was purified?
