Plastic Pipe, Innovative Solution to Saving Water

LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- JM Eagle, the world's largest manufacturer of plastic pipe, urges cities and municipalities to save water with plastic pipe. With conditions worsening regarding the drought crisis in the Western United States, JM Eagle is sharing the benefits of plastic pipe in the states affected by the drought, including: California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.

In California, Governor Brown has called for a 25-percent reduction in water use throughout the state. Cities in California can reach the Governor's goal by using plastic pipe. The underground water infrastructure in the United States is predominantly made up of metal pipe, a material that is prone to leaks and breaks when corroded. These pipes currently attribute to the loss of 2.6 trillion gallons of treated water per year. For more information please visit www.truthaboutpipes.com.

Throughout California and the United States, cities and towns have benefited from the installation of plastic pipe, with cities documenting cost savings from the upgrade. The City of Pleasanton, Ca. made the switch after experiencing consistently high failure rates and water loss with an old system made of ductile iron. After the switch to plastic pipe the city showed savings of 70-percent alone on material cost. Plastic pipe will not corrode and with proper installation will not leak or break and virtually eliminates the potential for water loss.

JM Eagle is promoting its message to Engineers nationwide with an industry first online course titled, "The Plastic Pipe Solution for Water Infrastructure Failures." The company's goal is to educate and bring awareness to the benefits of using plastic pipe. This course is a first in a series that will offer Engineers and Contractors their annual continuing education credits in order to remain licensed.

The course is another example of JM Eagle's innovative spirit, much like its Ultra Blue C909 product line. Ultra Blue C909 is a high performing, light weight pressure pipe for potable water systems. Its product attributes reduce labor costs and installation time. Municipalities in California can find the full Ultra Blue product line at JM Eagle's Fontana plant. JM Eagle offers its 50 year warranty to customers who purchase Ultra Blue. The 50 year warranty is also an industry first and unique to JM Eagle.
