We Have a WINNER! 

J.B. from Maryland correctly identified the yellow box as containing an automatic flushing valve.  The photo is from Corpus Christi, TX a couple of years ago - they were having trouble with stagnation and chlorination and were using these devices at various points in the city to flush out the mains.  The devices provide a more controlled release of water than just opening a hydrant outlet.
