I work in the field of water and wastewater infrastructure construction, repair, and maintenance in Minnesota.
Concrete products (pipe, precast manholes, etc) here are 50% of their 2007 costs. HALF PRICE. Other material (plastic and ductile iron pipe, for example) costs are falling too. This is due to lack of demand and the manufacturers are trying to cover their overhead. There is the potential for a bargain if water and sewer is part of the next bailo- er, stimulus package.
