Abstract: A box-like enclosure is recessed below ground surface with a pivotal lid secured to one sidewall of the enclosure. A plurality of sidewalls form the box which is open at its bottom to allow water drainage. Mounted within the box on an interior surface of one of the sidewalls are a pair of lever arms which support a reel and a hose mounted thereon. The box encloses the hose and reel when the lid is closed for aesthetic purposes and to prevent obstructions to pedestrian traffic and the like. The lid is raised by a lever projecting outwardly of the box sidewall on which the top is pivoted. This allows a user to step on the lever and raise the lid, which in turn allows the hose and reel to pivot upward on the mounting arms into useful orientation.
