Funny that some would consider this a flex, not considering that there's still LEAD PIPES around being used.

    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

    ...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?

    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.
