Thermoplastics - Costs Less To Handle, Install And Maintain
In Canada alone, municipalities lose $650 million in water each year, through broken water mains. At the same time, taxpayers spend roughly S82 million annually to repair these breaks. As North American municipalities continue to replace aging cast iron and asbestos cement pipe with PVC, these expenditures will become largely unnecessary.

One survey tracked the performance of cast ductile iron pipe versus PVC in 21 cities over a two-year period. While iron pipe experienced 9.5 breaks per 100 km, PVC had a mere 0.7 failures per 100 km. In municipalities maintaining equal amounts of PVC, cast iron, ductile iron and asbestos cement, PVC pipe accounted for only 1.3% of the repairs. No wonder most of the water distribution pipe currently being installed is PVC.

When it comes to installation, PVC pipe offers substantial cost savings over traditional cast iron, ductile iron and asbestos cement piping materials too. Because it weighs less, PVC is less costly to handle. Furthermore, no heavy equipment and fewer tools are required on the construction site.
