The flume was initially constructed to contain Mark Creek to prevent flooding of adjacent lands.

The inlet to the flume is about five miles west of Deer Park Ave. and the outlet is near the south and east ends of Jennings Avenue and Leadenhall Street. The flume runs for about 340 metres, with a 14 metre elevation change from top to bottom.
