Water Utility Castings
Non-Ferrous Sand Cast Components for Municipal and Water Infrastructure Systems
Riverside Foundry produces non-ferrous sand castings used in municipal water systems, pumping equipment, and valve assemblies across North America.
Cast Components Used in Water Infrastructure
Municipal and commercial water systems rely on durable metal components designed to operate continuously under pressure and exposure to water.
Non-ferrous alloys are often used in these environments for corrosion resistance, long service life, and stable performance in infrastructure applications.
Riverside supports production programs supplying cast components used in water equipment and related mechanical systems.
Typical Components Produced for Water Systems
Components Used in Water Infrastructure
Examples of cast components used in water infrastructure may include:
These components are typically integrated into equipment assemblies used in municipal water systems and industrial water handling equipment.
Many of these parts are produced using copper-based brass and bronze alloys designed for corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Alloys Commonly Used in Water Utility Equipment
Water system components often require alloys capable of maintaining performance in wet or corrosive environments.
Riverside produces copper-based brass and bronze alloys frequently specified for water and utility equipment.
Typical alloys may include:
*Other options are available upon request
Bronze alloys are commonly used for fresh water or salt water as bronze is the “gold standard” for resistance to corrosion and sea air. Bronze is ideal for bearings, bushings and gears that experience high stress.
Production Capabilities Supporting Water Utility Castings
Water system components often require repeatable production and dimensional consistency across long manufacturing runs.
Riverside supports these requirements through:
- automated green sand molding for repeat production programs
- airset molding when casting size or geometry exceeds matchplate limits
- in-house tooling and patternmaking to support controlled production programs
These capabilities allow casting programs to maintain consistent quality while supporting long-term infrastructure supply chains.
Supporting Equipment Manufacturers and Infrastructure Suppliers
Riverside works with equipment manufacturers supplying components used in:
- municipal water systems
- commercial plumbing systems
- household plumbing systems
- pump assemblies
- valve equipment
- industrial water handling equipment
