Some time happens
We recently had to repair a sewer line for a residential in the right of way after the ComEd installed a post above the sewer line and they injected foam into the ground to stabilize the post. Unfortunately the foam went into the sewer line and completely stopped the flow into the sewer line. Some time happens.

The oldest cast iron water pipes date from the 17th century and were installed to distribute water throughout the gardens of the Chateau de Versailles. These amount to some 35 km of pipe, typically 1 m lengths with flanged joints. The extreme age of these pipes make them of considerable historical value. Despite extensive refurbishment in 2008 by Saint-Gobain PAM, 80% remain original.

PVC
was first made 'unintentionally' in 1872 by German chemist Eugen Baumann. He
exposed vinyl chloride gas sealed in a tube to sunlight and produced a white
solid called PVC. It was not until 1913 when German chemist Friedrich Klatte
received the first patent for PVC for his method for the polymerization of
vinyl chloride using sunlight. By World War I, Germany was producing a number
of flexible and rigid PVC products which were used as a replacement for
corrosion-resistant metals.
