A SlipNOT^® water meter cover can incorporate safety to the sidewalks of any city.  Anyone that has walked on top of a water meter cover knows that they can be slippery, especially when wet.  On the West Coast electrical and water components are run underground, leaving an exposed metal access panel, water meter cover or vault cover above ground.  This access panel or vault cover is generally composed of solid plate or grating and can be extremely slippery when worn or wet.  In order to keep pedestrians safe, a slip resistant surface should be mandatorily applied to the covers of all vaults, water meters and electrical covers.  Some cities, such as the City of Los Angeles, have been taking this proactive approach to public safety for years.  They are setting a high safety standard for neighboring cities.
