The effect of sewer pipe material on stormwater quality
LTU has carried out a pilot study on the effects of various sewer pipe materials on the quality of transported stormwater; great differences were observed for concrete, galvanized steel, and plastic pipes respectively
Hence, the choice of sewer material does affect stormwater quality. In-depth laboratory studies, followed by field studies, will be conducted regarding the relationship between sewer material and stormwater quality. The results will form the basis for the development and selection of more sustainable sewer materials.
