    Many cast-iron pipes installed over a century ago have joints of jute sealed with lead that deteriorate over time and are often the causes of cast-iron pipe failure. [2] Jute was an effective joint sealant when the pipes carried coal-based town gas, but natural gas, used since the 1950s in New York [3] and the 1970s in the UK, [citation needed] dries out the jute.
