| Depending on the original diameter of the "blue" pipe you can thread new pipe through the old lines using PE which should be good for about a thousand years | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Chip, thanks for some great info. Would you mind answering a couple of questions? 
Blue plastic water pipe (Polybutylene) was used extensively in construction from 1978 - 1995. Does that mean if your home was built prior to 1978 it most likely would not be subject to a line cracking? I also infer from your statement that the line from the meter to the home has a better quality pipe? What we are experiencing now is that the county is only repairing the pipe where it breaks, not replacing the whole segment until after multiple patches. As frustrating as these water line breaks have become is it fair to say that the patchwork repairs are the only option at this point and complete replacement of all blue pipe is too expensive? Is there any financial merit to completely replacing each blue line when it cracks as opposed to just cutting out the crack and repairing it? If just repaired won't it be subject to cracking again in the future? |
