Manhole covers were washed away?
That is a flood feature I never considered.
I wonder if there is an affordable fix for that, which a city facing floods might consider?


That's what you get when your order the plywood or plastic ones! wink


That's what you get when the sewage / drainage system is totally flooded and pressurized. The high pressure in the drainage system will pop out even cast iron manhole covers.
