The paper examines the business and regulatory background to the infrastructure investments anticipated in the next few years, from the point of view of a major UK Water Company. Past performance of the use of plastic pipes for sewers and water mains are examined. Shortcomings of the products are identified and indications as to how these might be addressed in specifications and future research developments to enable the use of the products to continue to expand.
