Most of our pipelines are plastic here, maybe we are safe?

How about our old, lead pipes?

For the larger main water lines, the pressure is much higher, so steel pipe is used, but for the size of pipe you would use for a man-portable rocket the plastic water pipe would work just fine, I think. We are not talking about water lines that need to transfer water long distances in a place like Gaza, so this doesn’t make much sense to me.
