HDPE Making Headway In Water Industry

Arizona Water Conservation Project Utilizes HDPE to save $125,000 on Pipeline Construction Cost.

Tonopah, AZ – One of the largest water wholesalers in the country got their first taste of what a growing number of water companies in the U.S. already know – the financial bottom-line for water projects using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is the same color as the pipe – black. That's what officials at the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) discovered when they let their bid-winning contractor value engineer a 15,000-foot pipeline for the Tonopah Desert Recharge Project (TDRP).
