Materials for water network
In my opinion HDPE. That for mant reasons
1. If the bottom of the chanel (where pipe must deployed) is less than 70 cm, you have to calculate the environmet conditions. Here in greece we call it ''frozen factor'' but for M. Eat have the mean of high temperatures. So you don't want to face situations that the water is arriving at temp. >25-30 0 C.
2. If the depth is higher and because of geological factors, you need pipes with high flexibility (HDPE>9%), that assure you with longer duration and lower service costs.
3. Here in Greece we constructed networks for potable water with HDPE and d=1m
