Piece Pipe   Water & Wastes Digest August 2003   Drew L. Wilson
When the Mni Wiconi Rural Water Project is completed in 2008, it will include over 4,300 miles of transmission and distribution pipelines, a water treatment plant, booster stations, and numerous reservoirs. Phase XII of the project--the Rosebud Sioux Rural Water System--is under construction and this particular phase involves a significant quantity of high-density polyethylene pipe.

Tucson Employs HDPE to Halt Contamination In Record Time   Water & Wastes Digest March 2003   Drew Wilson
The city of Tucson Arizona was recently disrupted by the largest sewer bypass operation in the nation's history. Over 20 miles of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe has been fused together in just four and a half weeks to bypass a ruptured sewer line. HDPE is the only piping material in existence with a leak free rating and many experts in the industry feel it is the solution to the industry-wide problems associated with aging and failing infrastructure

Plastic and Plastic Lined Pipe   Water Engineering & Management September 1967   George E. Symons, Ph.D.
In about 1965, a specially designed plastic pipe, termed truss pipe, was introduced in sizes of 8-, 10-, 12-, and 15-inch diameters. In 1967, a British manufacturer announced the production of extruded polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) in diameters up to 16 inches, with the future possibility of producing up to 30-inch pipe. These developments undoubtedly will lead to the wider use of plastic pipe for sewers.
