The slow, inevitable fall of iron pipe's monopoly

Iron water pipes were installed underground years ago because, at the time, it was one of the only materials that could do the job. But now these pipes are failing at an alarming rate, causing insufferable disruptions to our everyday lives.

Fortunately, innovative materials such as PVC pipe exist today that are more durable and affordable, and can bring our water infrastructure well into the 22nd Century. But in a desperate attempt to protect its monopoly, the iron pipe industry is engaging in a campaign of lies and distortions about our industry.
