The manhole covers in Beit Dagan are generally made of metal

 

or concrete

 

and are either round

 

or square

 

.

In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates paving work around them

 

(these actually account for most of the square covers).

The covers in Beit Dagan are not colored. Covers with a golden finish have also been found, particularly those manufactured by the "Wolfman" company

 

.

Manhole covers intended for the Beit Dagan Local Council usually bear the council’s emblem

 

. Many covers belong to the "Mei Shikma" water utility, which serves the area

 

.

As in other Israeli cities, there are covers intended for other cities (the "Bug" category)

 

.

There are also covers intended for consumers that are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not associated with a specific city and can be found throughout Israel. For example, covers belonging to Netivei Israel

 

.

The purpose of a cover is usually indicated on it (sewerage

 

, water

 

, electricity

 

, etc.), so the number of covers in the "Unknown" category

 

is relatively small.

The year of manufacture appears on a significant proportion of the covers in Beit Dagan

 

.

In general, the designs of the covers in Beit Dagan are not particularly distinctive and follow the typical designs used by their manufacturers.
