Re: Lead pipe. My water main is definitely lead pipe. The street main is cast iron and was recently re bored out to remove massive amounts of deposits and sealed chemically so the iron pipe does not react with the water. In Scotland the water is clean from calcium carbonate (hard water) neutral ph and comes down from the highlands in a very pure form. The water pressure was recently increased to 8 bar to suit various customers. The problem with my lead main occurred from an old tee for a garden tap (that probably froze in winter) that had been subsequently capped off underground. It developed a slow leak. (I fixed it, but it's a story to be continued. I felt like Alan Greenspan trying to control the US economy in trying to stop that 8 bar water leak, it just got worse and worse for a long while, no matter what I did. It was a one hell of a technical fight that needed lots of of technical ability, savvy in getting proper advice, and patience. I nearly gave up.) pb.
