control manhole
Explanation:
usual translations for arqueta are access chamber (the smallest), inspection chamber (next size up) and manhole.

I found the following ref in Spanish with pictures, which seems to indicate that the arqueta in your context has ladder rungs, so therefore it is manhole size.

13.35.060 Control manhole may be required.
When required by the City of Gardner, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessible and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the City of Gardner. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his/her expense, and shall be maintained by him/her at his/her expense, so as to be safe and accessible at all times. (Ord. 1832 § 1. Code 1990 § 15-606)

If you look at the Spanish ref provided, then you will see that the arqueta toma muestras (sample/sampling chamber) is much smaller than the arqueta de control

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi My husband reckons it is a sample chamber, and I have looked on a site re water samples and this seems OK. Thank you though!

Asker: Apologies, Nicky, have just looked again and both are OK, of course! So Control Manholes IS better..!

Asker: I have twigged...yes, the arqueta toma muestras IS smaller. So yes "Control manhole" is 100% correct :-)
