The ultimate manhole covers site

General


The manhole covers in Or Yehuda are generally made of metal or concrete , but there are also plastic (composite material) covers .
The covers are square or round .
In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around them (these are in fact all the square covers on the site).

The covers in Or Yehuda are not colored. There is a relatively large number of gold-toned covers, mainly those manufactured by the company "Wolfman" .

Covers intended for the Or Yehuda Municipality usually bear the municipal emblem, which has undergone several changes over the years: the original emblem , a more recent emblem , and in recent years the branding emblem of the Or Yehuda Municipality .
Some covers still bear the words "Or Yehuda Local Council" , from the period when Or Yehuda was still a local council before becoming a city (in 1988).

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

The purpose of the cover is usually indicated on it (water , lighting , drainage , etc.).

A significant number of the covers in Or Yehuda display the year of manufacture .

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