The
"New Orleans Water Meter" is actually a water meter box cover
commonly seen throughout the streets of New Orleans. It is so unique that many
companies have started producing New Orleans memorabilia in the form of apparel,
jewelry, mats, and even coasters using its likeness.
The
design of our water meter was created by a man named Edwin Ford circa 1920.
Edwin Ford was the founder of the Ford Meter Box company, which was founded in 1898.
Although you can find one of our beautiful water meter covers in many places throughout
the city, I would suggest that you take a walk through our historic French Quarter.
Just keep an eye on the ground as you walk and it won't take very long before
you come across one. Take a picture and share it with your friends !
