I snapped these shots recently while taking a stroll through Wichita’s Old Town district. Despite the fact that the last water meter cover says “Wabash, Indiana”, all the photos were taken in Wichita. The first two examples have the same design and the forth and fifth examples use the same typeface for “Water Meter.” Which is your favorite? Leave a comment to cast to your vote.
Water Meter 01
Water Meter 02
Water Meter 03
Water Meter 04

I’d vote for #4 above, but this has always been my favorite:

I love Water Meter 3 because of it’s simplicity. They’re all great in a series, I wonder how that cover traveled from Wabash to Wichita?
Water Meter 02. I can’t articulate why, but it speaks to me like a water meter should, I think.
5. because i like it and nobody has said that one yet.
Six for me. The slab face is great and stars are a pleasant treat for anyone who is lucky enough to look down while they pass.
It’s a toss-up between #2 and #6 for me.

Wabash is where the meter was made. It’s clear on #6, without looking at the full size images:
can’t decide between ‘04 and ‘06. Maybe leaning towards 06.
