      I still have lead lines servicing my home.

      The city said they eventually want to replace all of them by like 2040 but mine come up on a trail through the woods. So we’ll see.

      What’s really kinda funny is that water from lead lines tastes better than copper. It’s why kids eating lead paint is a problem. Because it tastes pretty good

        Same here! My home tubing is 100% copper but the city pipes contains lead.

        They have provided me with a free Brita until it’s fixed, probably by 2040 as well…

          That’s nice. I should probably get a filter.

          What really sketches me out is my 100+ year old terracotta sewer line 😬
