General


The covers in the Azores are usually made of metal, with a smaller portion made of concrete or plastic. The shapes of the covers are round , square , or rectangular .
Round covers placed on sidewalks are often surrounded by pavement that matches the cover’s outline .

The covers in the Azores are not colorful (sometimes paint is added after the cover’s production ) or gilded. City emblems do not appear on the covers in this country.

The function of the cover is indicated in the following ways: the word AGUAS (water) , the name or logo of a telecommunications provider on cable and communications covers , ESGOTOS (sewage) , and so forth.

The consumers of the covers are usually the various municipalities, water and sewage companies, or telecommunications companies.
