Prattville Water System Material List

The Prattville Water System consists of approximately 12 miles of 160 and 200 class polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe with rubber gaskets and approximately 209 miles of class 22 and 350 ductile iron pipe with rubber gaskets. The tapping saddles consist of brass and ductile iron. The service lines from the main to the meter consist of polyethylene tubing, galvanized iron, and type k copper with all iron or brass mechanical compression type connectors and fittings. The meters contain brass, iron and or plastic parts with all brass shut off valves (curb stops) and brass backflow prevention devices. The Prattville Water system contains no lead materials.

The Prattville Water System is required by ADEM (Alabama Department of Environmental Management) to test for Lead and Copper every three years and the samples are analyzed by ESC (Environmental Science Corp.) located in Mt. Juliet Tennessee. The Prattville Water System is also under reduced monitoring due to the very low lab test results and the lack of lead material within the system.
