April 26, 2014. Zanja Madre lays broken after its transfer to a flat bed truck failed in an attempt to remove the structure to nearby Metabolic Studios for safe keeping. The 100 foot section and 4 foot diameter of brick pipe was found at a construction site at Chinatown and is a remnant of the 90 mile network of channels that brought water to the early inhabitants of Los Angeles. Originally built in 1781 it was enclosed in 1877 and eventually abandoned in 1904.
