Zinc-Coated Water Pipe Now Available In U.S.; San Jose Water Company Among First To Install

A contractor for San Jose Water Company in San Jose, California, has taken delivery of more than 3,000 feet of zinc-coated iron pipe from AMERICAN Ductile Iron Pipe, making it among the nation’s first utilities to install zinc-coated pipe.

“Utility customers should applaud this forward-thinking initiative by the utility, knowing that its pipe, with the added protection of zinc, will outlast any other pipe on the market,” said Maury D. Gaston, engineer and veteran water industry expert with AMERICAN Ductile Iron Pipe.
