Has anyone had their polybutylene pipes replaced yet and filed a claim?
Our
home was built in 1991 and our yard line sprang a leak yesterday. I
called
the 1-800 # for the settlement and they said it must fail within 10 years
of
installation. I really don't think 10 years is sufficient for an inferior
product which is likely to fail within 20 years of installation.

Does not matter what you think. Some lawyer(s) got a big fee to decide that
10 year is good enough.
