Rockdale, Texas Replacing Aging Cast Iron Pipes with PVC to Reduce Water Loss “A system with new water lines should reduce the number of line breaks in the system,” reported Rockdale City Manager Tim Kelty. “Many things can cause a water line leak, such as ground temperature. Putting new PVC pipes in the ground will reduce our water loss and the City having to issue boil water notices.” #PVC #PVCpipe #water #infrastructure #sustainability #waterinfrastructure #PVCPA (fb)
