At a city pumping station, the disc is right at the southeast corner of a concrete well cover on the grounds of the pumping station, not 20 feet west of Normandie Street. The rectangular concrete well cover is less than one foot in height and about 20 feet by 15 feet in size.

This is just a couple of blocks west of North Division Street.
