Plastic manhole covers

[NewsWhore]

The Santo Domingo municipality has chosen to replace cast-iron manhole covers from city streets with 1,000 high-resistance plastic ones. The new covers are manufactured in Mexico. "With the installation of the new model of cover, we will put an end to the practice of stealing them for selling for scrap," said Santo Domingo Mayor Roberto Salcedo, when announcing the arrival of the first covers. Salcedo said that covering the holes was essential because some people throw garbage into the manholes, resulting in blockages. The first covers will be placed in the Colonial City.
