Builders urge more study on PVC pipe in sewer lines
Baytown Home Builders Association representative Joe Ayler urged City Council to examine PVC pipe more thoroughly before approval. He cited Dallas tests showing higher abrasion in PVC under forced main conditions and warned about long term wear and potential taxpayer costs if the ordinance moves forward without further study. Ayler noted PVC is used in vertical plumbing and house-to-main line connections.
