Water Distribution
Water Distribution
(OP)
I work for an old New England town. Lots of ledge, elevation change and dense overgrowth.
We want to eliminate some dead ends in the water distribution system. If I have two 8-inch dead ends about 400 feet apart, tough field conditions. There is plenty of fire flow at both ends.
Instead of 8-inch CLDI, I'm considering connecting the two dead ends with 4-inch HDPE.
Comments, pro and con, please.

My suggestion would be to connect the two lines with an 8-inch, materials could be DI, PVC, maybe PE or any other allowed in your system.
good luck
