Cast iron ?! Seriously, who the heck ever thought making sewage pipes out of the most rustable material known to man, was a good idea?
I mean... humans have been making fired glazed pottery pipes for about as long as we've been making pipes, and then some idiots around the turn of the century decided to start making cast iron, or even wooden pipes... and it's not as if it was even cheaper. (90% of the cost of plumbing and sewage pipes is the digging, as you know).
Oh well, at least all the disruption will be over and done relatively quickly by the sound of it.
