@ohmu @ai6yr @douglasvb @laureenf.bsky.social In the PNW the phrase is "Copper is proper" but that only refers to the service line from the main to the meter and uses compression fittings, except some weirdos who still like flared fittings. No solder until it gets into the building but the service line from the meter to the building is usually poly. Of course that changes depending on age of infra and location / jurisdiction, but summarizes my experience.

In response to this post@cR0w @ohmu @ai6yr @laureenf.bsky.social my buddy in NE Portland just had the pipe from the main in the street through the meter and into the house replaced with plastic. And he's been slowly replacing all the ancient lead soldered pipes in his house with PEX.
@cR0w @ohmu @ai6yr @laureenf.bsky.social the plastic was installed when they increased the diameter of the pipe serving his house. I'm not sure why they need a bigger service though. Maybe low pressure?
