PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is one of several materials used in underground utility infrastructure and serves a variety of purposes, including drinking water distribution, sewer systems, irrigation, and stormwater drainage.
The PVC pipe shown here is manufactured for potable (drinking) water systems. Depending on the project and municipal standards, PVC is one of the materials used to transport clean water to neighborhoods, schools, businesses, parks, and other community facilities.
PVC is valued for its durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Unlike metal pipe, it won't rust or corrode over time. Its smooth interior helps maintain efficient water flow, while its lightweight design makes transportation, handling, and installation more efficient. These qualities have made PVC a reliable choice for many underground water and wastewater applications.
Although these pipes spend their entire service life beneath roads and communities, they play an important role in delivering essential water and wastewater infrastructure that supports everyday life.
At Honua Waterworks, we supply PVC water pipe from trusted manufacturers like Vinyltech PVC Pipe and Diamond Plastics, along with the fittings, valves, and accessories needed to complete water infrastructure projects throughout Hawaiʻi.
