Show us your manholes!

A few years ago I noticed that most cities seem to have their own unique manhole and utility covers. It struck me as interesting and when I remember I try and make sure to grab a shot of one when I travel somewhere, though the qualification is that it has to have the city's name on it. This doesn't always work as I was in downtown LA on Sunday and couldn't find one anywhere that wasn't generic. I figured DWP would have something unique.

Nonetheless, I thought I would share. Please feel free to add your own.

Houston, but I don't think they belong to the city.
