Water is currently a major problem in my town and we only get water from public taps or boreholes which are the only source of private water.
Irrigation isn't practice in my town but in the northern part of the country (Cameroon)
blue is for potable water. Green is for sewers. Yellow signifies natural gas, oil, petroleum, or something else that’s potentially flammable. Orange is for telecommunications. Red is for power lines. And white is for marking where excavations and new pipe routes will go.
I am happy to gotten an in sight about what the different colors of pipes represent in the US. Here;
We use black and blue for water pipes
Red for power lines too
brown, orange and more for telecommunications.
Rather to the color of water pipes breaking, the heads (Iron) attached to the pipes are always very rusty and no one cares about this factor. They are only changed when they get destroyed.
I have never seen a purple pipe been used for water (maybe it happens it areas where irrigation is practiced). So, I can say I have never drank water from such a pipe.
Anyways, thanks for the heads up!
