They're *supposed* to bury conductive warning tape on top.
I'm dealing right now with a facility with a 3 inch buried plastic water main. My Transmission Crew Chief pulled me aside last week: no tape. Grrr.
@ohmu @douglasvb @cR0w @ai6yr @laureenf.bsky.social do not get me started on the kind of idiots who bury GAS LINES with no tape
especially when followed, years later but in the same physical space, by the kind of idiots who want to fire up gas powered pumps to "pump this out and see what's causing the bubbles and the funny smell in the trench"
in related news some days I'm really not paid enough

Interesting. That's new to me. What I mainly hear about copper is concern regarding solder (because lead) and how brittle it is when it's cold.
@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.

Where would plastic pipe be involved, do you think?
@ohmu @ai6yr @laureenf.bsky.social pretty much all in-ground water pipe is plastic unless it's really old.
