Rural Water District Finds Success
with Fusion, HDPE Technologies
About two hours southwest of Sioux Falls,
S.D., a rural water district has become
one of the state's biggest champions of
high-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE).
Randall Community Water District
(RCWD) serves about 2,800 rural customers
and 15 bulk customers from its

done with PVC, Manager Scott Pick realized
he needed to find another solution.
" Someone suggested HDPE to us because
it was physically impossible to do
the joints we needed with PVC, " Pick said.
Pick and RCWD System Operator
Mason Wright began researching HDPE
in earnest, which led them to Rob Braun
of the Omaha-based Industrial Sales.
The rest, as they say, is history.
" We started learning a lot about
HDPE, " Pick said. " We learned to fuse,
and we got good at it. "
In addition to its longevity and durability,
Pick said he was attracted to
