Blue Dot Appeared On Wall 8 October 2018 at 6:02PM in Water bills 9 replies 2.2K views

Coming home this morning, I noticed a blue dot (about 2" diameter) had been painted on our front garden wall.

I'm wondering if this is some sort of marker for the water utility contractors? We have a water meter a couple of feet from the 'dot'.

Just curious really - wondered if anybody knew the answer?

Could well be. We're having a lot of work done on the water mains in our area and the pavements and roads have had a lot of blue paint applied.

Gypsies putting the hex on you probably.

Either that or it's to let the murderous green mist know it's to pass you by, Old Testament-style!

Very likely water - and often used to mark where they are about to dig......

That was my 'hope' .... Fourth Horseman pass this one without decapitating anybody ...

look for blue spray paint, used by the water company to help their meter readers and engineers spot where the meter is with minimal fuss.

Jobs for the boys - someone to find the meter and mark where it is and another someone to come along, see where the mark has been applied then find the meter and read it.

Does someone then go round and remove all the blue paint?
