FAQ: Should I be concerned about the condition of my pipes?

A. The vast majority of the nation’s water pipes were installed in the years after World War II and are in serious need of replacement or repair. In fact, half of all pipes in the U.S. were in poor shape, according to 2010 report from the National Association of Water Companies and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And according to a 2012 EPA fact sheet on Water Infrastructure and Sustainability, the average age of a broken water main in the U.S. is 47 years. Knowing the age of your pipes will help you to assess their need for repair.

FAQ: I have mature trees near my water service lines. Is this a concern?

A. Invasive tree roots often “follow” and disrupt service lines. Roots seek out pipes because they provide essential elements that trees need to grow - water, nutrients and oxygen. When tree roots get into pipes, they can cause clogs and blocks that lead to serious problems and need for pipe repair.
