Green box

zofo69

I live in Waterford city and am living in the same house for the past 18 years. There is a green box at the end of my front garden which has been there since i moved in. There are no labels or markings to indicate who owns the box..ie ESB,Eircom,Upc, etc. Recently the metal cover was vandalised and i would like to get it replaced before it's completely destroyed. It's approx 2' wide and 2.5' high. The cover is held on by 2 bolts (bottom one missing) which has a cone shaped head. Anybody know who or what service these box's provide??

Thanks in advance.

generally they're An Post boxes. the post for an area is sorted and put into them for the local postman to collect and deliver.

Not a post box. I can see piping/cabling through the gap where the cover has been pulled.

What does the cabling look like, coaxial/grey pvc/white cable, how thick etc
anyone else got these boxes, I want one:D

Sounds suspiciously like a water meter to me...

If the door is open then the corporation worker inside has obviously escaped and taken an early retirement package.

Generally when people say "green box", its an electricity box. Contact the council op. Im sure they could point you some way.
