All supply pipes that are the water company's responsibility will not be of the lead variety right up to their main stopcock/valve. However,
after that stopcock it is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the pipes and I expect a very small number could still possibly be lead. Most were replaced some years ago for copper and today the material is of the blue plastic variety.
