Default Irrigation Meter Box Lid

Has anybody had their irrigation meter box lid broken by their lawn service and did they replace it? Saw mine was cracked down the middle right after they cut my grass.

My first thought on seeing this would be to talk to the mowing crew.

Repair it or buy another one. I doubt the yard people going to take responsibility.

I do not believe you can but one of these, and yes CSU will replace covers, we had one that was cracked and would not stay in place, we called and it was replaced in a couple of days.

You must be on reclaimed water irrigation that got the meter in irrigation box (in newer areas?) Only reason I could guess why water companies would replace it.

Mine broke several years ago and it was replaced at no charge. I am not sure who I contacted, but I would start with the Utilities Dept - 352-750-0000.
