Title: Mystery Meter
Post by: Lighterknot on May 06, 2010, 12:10:46 PM
I found this behind my neighborhood.  The concrete structure in the left of the pic has a manhole cover on top of it.  It looks like they went ahead and ran the sewer in plans to expand the neighborhood later as there are several of them in a straight line but only this one meter.  It looks to measure water flow, any idea what it is for or why it's there?

Cool, thanks for the link.  Guess I was right about the water flow being measured.  Wonder why they are measuring this thing in the middle of the woods behind our neighborhood.   :confused:

 :wo:  I'm wondering if they are trying to gauge the amount of rainwater flowing thru there to ensure the pipe is big enough to handle XX" of rain per hour.  :shrug:

I'd open it up and go down in.
It's an entrance to the beginning of a long winding series of underground rooms and tunnels. Like in LOST. :yoyo:
