Water on the ground after rain? Who would have thought!
In all seriousness those pits can fill with water no problems. They have a rubble pit in their base, or be connected to one, so they will slowly drain themselves when the rain stops. Nothing to worry about.

Happens when the pits further up the hill fill full of water.
Water does what it does and runs down though the conduits and comes up at the lowest point.

Do you think something that goes in the ground can’t get wet?

Ive put pit lids back with water 100mm over the top of the pit a few times, using extensions on your drill to get below the water level is a thing

Installers didn’t punch a hole for drainage, some pits don’t come with a drainage hole standard.
If it’s new then it’s probably empty anyway. Or full of optical fibre, which wouldn’t be overly bothered.

I bet they never thought the pits might fill with water when they decided to install them in the ground… the cables insides of these comms pits and electrical pits get put into Bells that are resin sealed and heat shrank to keep the insides waterproof, normally with mastic as another waterproofing measure.

Everything in there is designed to be submerged.
