Cost-Effective, Labor-Saving, Long-Life Pipe Provides Solution for New and Old Systems IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), money from the economic stimulus package can go further when pipe made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is used for infrastructure projects. This will save money in time and materials and the millions of dollars that literally go down the drain from wasted water. “There are two distinct problems: less than ideal pipe systems made from metal or concrete and wasted water that comes from using these materials,” stated Tony Radoszewski, executive director, Plastics Pipe Institute. “Both can be solved with HDPE pipe that is easy to install, sustainable and delivers a totally leak-free system. “Infrastructure managers have struggled to replace aging water and sewer systems, but have not had the funds to address the problem. Now with the stimulus package signed by President Obama they can do the job and install a superior system that is more economical and environmentally responsible. They can make each dollar go further and have a system built for 2009, not 1909."
