Can cast iron pipes not be used for domestic water supply and drainage?

Answer:

Cast iron pipes are mostly used in fire fighting, fire hydrant water supply and indoor water supply. Plastic pipes are used in general and high water riser pipes are made of plastic steel composite pipes
Can be used for life drainage, I last year to do the public construction, 24 layers of life and drainage on the cast iron pipe.
Yes, the main use is, outdoor water supply pipe can be PE or ductile iron (socket connection). Indoor water is now used in general plastic pipes, but in the past seems to be able to use ductile iron, as for drainage, generally do pressure type drainage, when the choice is cast iron pipe. There are also indoor fire pipes using welded steel tubes or ductile iron.
