You’d think that the weight of a manhole cover would be enough to hold it in place…but in this case, you’d be wrong.
A manhole cover on 17th Street in Denver, Colorado, had trouble containing the floodwaters beneath it last week, much to the amusement of a pedestrian with a camera…
So, lesson learned: Always properly secure the manhole covers you’re responsible for. And, as long as we’re talking about it, don’t replace them like this, please and thank you.
