Re: UK water supplies?

The house I lived in in Brixton still had lead pipes (Latin = plumbum). I wonder if they are still in use?

Re: UK water supplies?

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.

Hit the nail on the head there Annie.....
Such an influx of people into England in such a short space of time equals utilities that are unable to supply demand. Hence the number of roadworks we now see.
