1860. The basin was brought to light.
The
basin of Jouy has the shape of a pit four metres in diameter in which another pit was dug.
The latter is 1.35m deep and 2m in diameter.
Water rushing from the bridge/aqueduct flowed into the basin. It was then
slowed
down by whirling and made a right angle turn before heading for Divodurum (Metz).
The basin also collected water from the Luzerailles spring. .
It is similar to the one in Ars and the structure must have been covered too. The vault above the twin pipes is a later addition.
