Reply to comment by rrrevor in DC Water Test Results Lead Levels? by legalhandcannon

Does the age of the pipes matter if they are not lead? Shouldn’t the question be whether the service line and distribution lines in the house are lead vs copper?

It's not that the age causes lead to get worse, it's that the age can be an indicator as to whether lead pipes are a possibility.

It leaches from the solder on copper pipes especially if the water pH isn’t correct.
