Unfortunately a LOT of water distribution in the US is done in lead pips, That’s the whole damn flint water crisis. They don’t replace them because left undisturbed they’re not shedding at a dangerous rate, but once you fuck around with flow and pressure, it gets bad real quick.
Indeed, but if it makes you feel better, our last visible crisis ended 10 years ago. incidentally, they still have lead pipes going to hundreds of houses there…
