In fall 2006, the first project in the Fargo-Moorhead area was installed. Fusible PVC® pipe was used to replace an aged cast iron water main at the University of Moorhead near the student union. The 6-inch diameter cast iron pipe was replaced with 8-inch diameter Fusible PVC® pipe using pipebursting technology –an effective method of replacing aging water mains with a minimal amount of digging and disruption. This project was only the second Fusible PVC® pipe project to be installed in Minnesota. Following this success, the first Fusible PVC® pipe would be installed in Bismarck, North Dakota in spring 2007.
