A sewer cap is round because it is the only shape that, when removing the cap, cannot fall into the hole.

As long as you can answer their questions adequately, you'll be fine. I answered the sewer cap question with "the caps are heavy and any other shape would be hard to roll away when access is needed to the sewer. Also, a shape with corners could warp and potentially damage tires", etc.

This is not always the case.In China the sewer cap could be either round and square.But square one comes in small size.
