Truly not sure what you are asking.  But I will give it a shot.  How old is the child? Depending on the age, the child and circumstances, the child may be entirely or partially negligent or not at all.  How did the child get to the water meter hole? Where was the child's parents/supervision?  Who made the water metere hole? An act of God, an accident caused by non government employee/entity? Were there barricades placed/precaution taken to prevent individuals from entering/accessing this hole?

If you are worried if the child has a case, then check with local counsel.  Try attorneypages.com.
