 One unusual feature of Rephidim amongst most settlements on Sinai is that it has a working sewer system. In addition to the conveniences afforded by indoor plumbing, the sewer system is a necessity for recycling the limited water supply on the floating sky island. The mechanisms have been in place for time immemorial, and while there are sewer maintenance crews who attempt to battle clogs, the sewer has centuries (perhaps even millenia) of residue build-up, making it look more like a cavern than a man-made system in places. There are many vicious creatures and even criminal elements that make the sewers their home, or use it as an unconventional means of travel under the city. Nonetheless, the ancient machinery has proven to be durable and functional over all this time, a great testament to the ingenuity of the ancient engineers who built it.
