They’ve used pipes with lead in them for water ducts in Ancient Rome IIRC

    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.
