A historical footnote is that the Romans used lead pipes for water. No wonder they rarely lived past 40. As a youngster I helped excavate and repair many a lead pipe water service in the the City of Detroit and the surrounding suburbs. Probably most cities constructed in 1800's and 1900's had the same. Lead has a propensity to crumble. I suspect many of them, unless they had a water leakage problem, still exist as I doubt hundreds of thousands of these services and their mains have been replaced. Maybe that is why the Detroit Lions are 1 and 12, think so? Ken PS I drank that water for many years as did my Mother, and I'm OK, and she is 96. Yeowwy!!!
