A meter pit is formed by a container having a side wall extending 360 degrees around a central axis and having top and bottom edges at top and bottom ends respectively forming a chamber. A bottom central opening is formed at the bottom end for receiving a meter for location in the chamber. An upper wall extends radially inward 360 degrees from the top edge of the side wall with an upper central opening formed therethrough. The upper wall has an annular outer rim extending radially inward from the top edge to an annular groove and an annular inner rim extending from the groove to the upper central opening. The upper wall is employed to support a cover holder of the type having a circular outer edge with arcuate extensions or an arcuate extension extending downward from its bottom side for insertion into the annular groove. Cut out slots extend along the lower half of the side wall to facilitate entry of pipes into the chamber.
