One of the divisions of the company i work for does residential water service work for a regional water authority. This overs many town, including a failry large New England city.
I started making my own lead fishing sinkers years ago, and asked the crews who do the water service if they ever ran across any lead to let me have it, and to date, i’ve never gotten a single ounc of lead. They brink back tons of scrap copper, galvanized pipe, etc., but never any lead.
Strange.
You most certainly aren't a scientist.

Great that's not too narrow of a sample.

Charming hobby, but poor reasoning. Maybe they don't like you. Maybe they simply ignore you. Maybe they encounter lead services, but are encouraged just to bury them in place. Have you penciled out the value of used lead? I don't think it's even worth carrying home - unless it's for a hobby.
Tell me when you're in NY City or Chicago or Pittsburgh and I'll show you some lead services. LOL.
Strange.
Strange indeed!
Posting to yourself and the last one of the thread. LOL!
