United Pipe & Supply strongly supports water conservation
Every year Americans take 25% of the clean water from its rivers, streams, lakes and grown water for its use. Of that 25% a full 79.6% is used for agriculture, 4.3% is used for drinking water and other domestic uses, 2.9% is used on landscape and 1.5% is used on golf courses. Said another way, of all the water consumed in America, United Pipe sells product and services that can assist in the conservation of 88.3% of the water that is consumed each year.

In agriculture, 60% of the water is used for inefficient flood irrigation (even the Columbia River’s water is used 60% for flood irrigation). By changing from flood to pressure irrigation we can easily conserve 30-40% of this water. On the domestic front, we sell pressure pipe and control valves ensuring the water that is put into our distribution systems for our use, stays in our system and is properly controlled. Additionally we sell water meters that assist in the conservation of water by ensuring that the person who uses the water is charged for that use. In landscape and golf we sell control systems that reduce water runoff, minimizing the application rate of the water while maximizing the growth and health of the plant product.
