The manhole covers in Rehovot are usually made of metal

 

or concrete

 

, and their shape is circular

 

, square

 

or elliptical

 

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

 

(these are in fact almost all the square covers found on the site).

The covers in Rehovot are not colored. A relatively large number of gold-tinted covers exist, mainly those manufactured by the company "Wolfman"

 

.

Covers intended for the Municipality of Rehovot usually bear the municipal emblem

 

or the inscription "Rehovot Municipality"

 

.
Many covers are intended for the water corporation "HaBe’er HaShlishit", which serves the city of Rehovot

 

.

As in other cities in Israel, a relatively large number of covers intended for other cities can be found (the "bug" category)

 

.

There are also covers intended for consumers who are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not tied to a specific city and can be found throughout Israel. Examples include covers for the cable company "HOT"

 

, the company "Partner"

 

and others.

The cover’s designation usually appears on it (water

 

, sewage

 

, drainage

 

and more), and therefore the number of covers in the "unknown" category

 

is relatively small.

On a significant number of the covers in Rehovot, the year of manufacture appears

 

.

In general, the design of the covers in Rehovot is not unique and corresponds to designs typical of the manufacturer.

Manufacturers

, and Standard IS 489, which is equivalent to the international EN124 standard

 

).

appears, along with various load ratings (A50 - D400)
