[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2438237, member: 101791"] The copper pipes inside your home or from the water main to meter. Water main to meter generally isn't solder. They are compression fitting. As far as solder inside the home. It was 50/50 for a great many years. Then changed to Silver solder. Now it's plastic pipe rolled type mostly. Unless the water is the problem of pulling out the lead from the solder joints, there isn't a problem. The Fed's started requesting lead tests in the late 80's or very early 90's. So depending on what the drinking water is made up on, will effect the lead. This was an annual test and if there no problems, it moves out to about 3 years or so. Now in the east, they used white lead piping for connection from mainlines to meters. From what I understand they haven't removed those connection yet in a lot of those areas. How they get by with it, I don't know. Flint M. is a place that made the news and still in the news from time to time even now. Due to White lead, and water makeup. They don't have the money to replace those lines. The problem is funds, were taken from the water system spent in other places. They don't take the extra funds sit it aside for replace, or set up a depreciable asset funds. They spend it on other things. Example of this it Los Angeles Depart of Water and Power. They have taken 100's if not billions from water and power, and spent it on other items. They didn't sit aside the funds for deprecation and replace cost. Now they are going back and telling the people they have to raise there prices to replace the old equipment, they ****ed away the funds that should have been held for that. It's is also hard to get into setting aside funds for deprecation. I put in about 30 years on a Water Board of Directors in a small district. [/QUOTE]
