SPLASH is a non-profit alliance of suppliers, fabricators, equipment manufacturers and two metals associations.
It is our goal to have wrought and cast stainless steels accepted by communities for use in the storage and distribution of potable water throughout the United States.
To help us achieve this goal, we are establishing test sites for these materials in several water distribution installations. From these test sites, a series of case histories will be established and made available on this website.
We hope these resources will help you to have confidence in these materials and that you will contact us for assistance in your water distribution project.
If your company would like to join us, please contact us |

Mesa Verde National Park
Colorado, USA
Directionally drilled, Type 316L and fully welded stainless steel water pipe now supplies waters from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to the water treatment plant in Mesa Verde National Park. Water travels in 7 miles of 6-inch schedule 40 piping, with a 2500 feet elevation drop, which results in water pressures at the end of the line of up to 660 psi. Minimal damage was done to the environment, which crossed private lands.More information: Nickel magazine, Oct. 2003, Vol.19, No.1

Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA)
Florida, USA
Constructed a 12-inch schedule 10 pipe Type 316 stainless steel pipe to carry municipal watewater over the San Carlos Creek Wetlands and the St. John's River. This was an above ground crossing with the piping supported on the side of a railroad bridge crossing. This is a common method of construction in Japan where water lines are suspended on the side of bridges for water transfer lines spanning rivers and estuarine crossings.

Largest Stainless Steel Tapping Sleeve Connection
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
A record setting hot tap was accomplished for the supply of water through a 96-inch line, off a 120-inch concrete line providing water from Lake Mead, Nevada, to an ozone treatment water plant. This involved a 102-inch stainless steel tapping sleeve, supplied by JCM Industries of Nash, TX. The work was part of a large water system improvement project for Southern Nevada Water Authority

Stainless Steel Valves and Risers Handle Water
Coming Into NYC
New York, New York, USA
To meet the increasing demand for potable water and to replace aging infrastructure, New York City has chosen Type 316 stainless steel for the lining and construction of their risers, which brings in waters from the upper New York reservoirs. In addition, there are thirty two cast 316 stainless steel, large diameter butterfly valves handling 1.4 billion litres of water per day to supply the diffferent New York City boroughs.
