A piping manufacturer sued the city of Buckeye Thursday over allegedly violating its development laws when it allowed the installation of PVC piping in a development's wastewater system, suggesting heightened "health risks."
In a Maricopa County Superior Court complaint, California-based Building Products Company said the city of Buckeye erroneously allowed a developer to use PVC piping instead of clay piping for its wastewater system.
Building Products cited a 2020 resolution, allegedly adopted by the Buckeye Council, outlining the required use of vitrified clay piping. They also claim unelected city staff allegedly decided to waive the requirement for the developer.
