No like there was a lead pipe from the early 1900s from the street up through the woods to my house.
The city and utility company replaced it with a copper one at no cost. It’s a big initiative in our city right now to replace all the old lead water lines by 2027
The city just replaced my lead water lines.
We’ve been drinking straight out of the tap for about 5 years.
No change in my temperament, anger, mood I guess.
Remember that mineral deposits may line the inside of those pipes and doesnt necessitate that lead has been leeching into the water
What?

The person you’re replying to means that the pipe had 125 years of mineral deposits coating the inner diameter and separating the water from the lead
It’s still good that they replaced it but I’d be shocked if drinking that water impacted you in any perceptible way
Other than perceptible hydration
