Booklet on corrosion resistant waterpipe materials published
The Water Supplies Department has recently published a booklet providing general information on the use of different types of pipe materials as inside service in buildings, a spokesman for the department said today (Sunday).
Following announcement of amendments to the Waterworks Regulations on December 23, 1994, unlined galvanised steel pipes should not be used as water inside service in new buildings one year after the enactment of the new legislation.
"The booklet supplies consumers with general information on the corrosion resistant type of pipe materials approved by the Water Authority under the new legislation.
"It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of different pipe materials and provides a list of suppliers and a price list for comparison.

"However, consumers should still consult suppliers on the properties and characteristics of the pipe material they want to use," the spokesman said.
The booklet was prepared last year by a working party comprising representatives from associations in the plumbing trade.
Copies of the booklet, which are available in both English and Chinese, can be obtained free of charge from the consumer enquiry centres of the Water Supplies Department.
