THE PLUG
Municipalities and Water Companies often have to shut off the service to the non-paying customer. Many of these customers are able to acquire a curb stop key or other makeshift tool and easily turn the service back on. With THE PLUG, the water company worker simply shuts off the service and inserts THE PLUG into the curb box where it rests on top of the curb stop. THE PLUG not only blocks access to the curb stop, it also simulates the actual valve handle when viewed from above in its position in the curb box. Any attempt to obtain water by turning THE PLUG will be fruitless, as it will rotate freely while having no effect whatsoever on the curb stop.
Designed for Efficiency
THE PLUG is a clever decoy. It has no moving parts that can corrode or fail. It is also non-magnetic, non-buoyant, and vacuum resistant. THE PLUG is resistant to attacks by "digging bars, pipes, rods, curb keys etc." In fact, it is nearly impossible to remove without the PLUG GRABBER tool. The non-paying customer won't know what he/she is up against until it's too late. THE PLUG is less expensive than many other kinds of water utility solutions; however, prices vary based on the device's compatibility with a system. Best of all, this device usually pays for itself with one reconnect fee!
