The commercial jobs around here still have metal water supplies, I don't know about new dwelling units.

My house (circa 1925) has a lead water main, we don't drink or cook with the water. [Linked Image]

But you still bathe and clean your dishes with it iwire? Might be worth the money to replace it.

I am not worried, we had the lead levels tested and it is nothing to worry about we could drink it.

We did have a scare with one of my kids when she had a lead screening.

It came out dangerously high, second test and all since have proved the 'high' test was thankfully in error.
