Delay encountered with the 3" water main pipe.

Allen Plumbing notice leaks while testing the new West Tower/Clubhouse 3" water main line. The line should be able to take 150 psi of water pressure; however, at 90 psi Allen noticed leaks at the seams. They kept the pressure at 90 psi overnight, and in the morning the pressure had leaked down to 30 psi.

Allen has consulted with the manufacturers of the 3" Schedule 80 PVC pipe, and the glue. They believe that the glue is the problem, and are waiting for recommendations from the manufacturers.
