Lead pipes aren’t inherently leaching lead into your water, as long as the chemistry of the water moving through the pipes is correct. Problems like what happened in Flint happen when the water chemistry is wrong
It’s relevant cause I live in a place where water is potabilized and checked, which is not the case in all the ‘civilized’ world, like where they have still lead pipes.
And in the case of remote places, it would be unwise to drink it straight from the ground, as you don’t know what’s under there.
Funny that some would consider this a flex, not considering that there’s still LEAD PIPES around being used.

Yeah but what if they used something that it doesn’t poison you if the water changes a little? Wild take, I know.
Yup. They changed water sources without buffering the pH and that caused the protective coating to dissolve.
It really isn’t that bad. It isn’t like lead actually causes harm
…why is that relevant?
Do you filter literally all the water you intake, or do you think they only used lead pipes for the water hoses outside or something?
Yes, full house filters are a thing lol
