Re: Chambers St (J) (Z) - MTA Press Release details

That water is obviously still there, underground.

???

200 years ago, water would have trickled into the pond from surface runoff, and/or seeped into it underground.

Now that all surface water in lower Manhattan flows into the storm sewer system, it is not at all clear to me that any underground pool of water would still exist.

The Chambers Street Station leaks may just be due to deterioration of waterproofing layers above rather than any seepage from a remaining underground pool.
