Plastics Pipe Institute Endorses Texas Proposition 4 for Water Infrastructure Funding
TL;DR
Proposition 4 funding creates opportunities for plastic pipe manufacturers to gain market share by providing durable, cost-effective water infrastructure solutions in Texas.
Plastic piping systems reduce water loss through corrosion resistance and seismic durability, using recycled materials to create sustainable long-term infrastructure.
This initiative improves water security for Texas communities, ensuring reliable access while reducing environmental impact through sustainable material use.
Plastic pipes made from recycled materials can last decades while withstanding earthquakes, revolutionizing how we build resilient water systems.

The Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI), the major trade association representing all segments of the plastic pipe industry, has endorsed Proposition 4, the November 2025 ballot measure that will provide long-term, dedicated funding for Texas water infrastructure. The not-for-profit group urges Texans to vote YES on Proposition 4 to strengthen the state's water systems and prepare for future challenges.
David M. Fink, president of PPI, stated that Texas leaders took the proper first step by passing legislation to address the state's growing water challenges. He emphasized that by advancing Proposition 4 to voters, the Legislature and Governor Abbott have shown foresight and responsibility in ensuring Texas is prepared for both population growth and recurring drought. Fink noted that in the association's 75-year history, they have never seen such a dire situation.
Plastic piping represents a proven solution to help Texas achieve Proposition 4's goals, according to Fink. These systems reduce water loss, particularly in seismically sensitive areas, resist corrosion, and last longer than traditional materials. This durability translates to less taxpayer money spent on repairs and more water delivered where needed. The environmental benefits extend to sustainability, with millions of pounds of recycled materials used in manufacturing large diameter corrugated stormwater drainage pipe.
PPI members are committed to sustainability and innovation, with many already leading in recycling, material recovery, and product design to support circularity. More information about these initiatives can be found at https://www.plasticpipe.org. The institute and its members stand ready to help expand this proven technology in Texas, ensuring that every dollar invested through Proposition 4 builds infrastructure that is durable, efficient, and sustainable for decades to come.
