Default copper or cpvc water pipes?

I guess it's a good thing the sun doesn't shine in Florida because
most people with a well have pipes outside and they are always white
PVC. Explodig pipe is not a huge problem.


Yeah, all the well pipes here are underground. It's the altitude for us
that does it. At 5800 ft above sea level, the sun is pretty intense.
That's why a number of folks refer to Albuquerque as the "skin cancer
capital of the world". I've lived in a number of places, travelled to many
others, and have never felt the sun more intense than it is here. With
that comes extreme dryness as well so that may be playing a part in the
plastic's demise as well.
Cheers,
