Water meter (boundary box) covers

74 Posts

Many meters are being installed by Severn Trent in our area and they now use a type of cover I've not seen before. They seem to have no way of opening them, and as a matter of curiosity, I just wondered if anyone knows how they are accessed, either to read the meter or turn off the water in an emergency.
They are round plastic covers, but have no slots, indentations or any other visible way of turning or lifting.
Anyone got any thoughts?

2.72kWp PV facing SSW installed Jan 2012. 11 x 247w panels, 2.5kw inverter. 27MWh generated, long-term average 2.6 Os.
Should have guessed there was an obvious answer
There is probably another full of fine grit diametrically opposite
The one I pictured has been in place a while. I'll have a closer look at a recently installed one to see if I can see similar, but TBH, I'm pretty sure there's nothing like that on new ones.
