There is a long, thin, rubber-y line wrapped around/connected to the water line pictured below.
Other angle:
The piece in question is loosely hanging via a zip tie on my main water line about shoulder height and can be moved up/down easily.

If you go up to one of those covers and look at it, you’ll probably find that the meter well is using a nonstandard bolt head (often five-sided) in an effort to prevent tampering. I bet that used to work a lot better before people could just buy any weird tool they wanted on Amazon (though I wonder if anyone cares now that water is such a tiny fraction of most people’s monthly budgets).
In the 1990s, we used to live next to a couple, Julio & Georgina. They would fight all the time, screaming in Spanish. We never really talked to them. One month we couldn’t pay our water bill and the guy came and shut it off.
As the truck pulled away from the curb, Julio EXPLODES from his house, screaming cusses in Spanish with the biggest wrench I have ever seen. Turns my water back on, shakes the massive wrench at the retreating truck, still yelling at them, nods at me and stomps back into his house.
That’s amazing. Definitely one of those Chaotic neighbors you want to be on the good side of.
