Steel supply line.

[sfalvey (Scott Falvey)]

Any known health concerns with the old steel water supply lines? I know they can build up residue inside, but outside of the rust factor, what else?

Thanks.

The only concern is with lead pipes.

not only for health concern but also for money, once the corrosion gets bad, you develop a leak, once the pipes have leak then you have to replace it.
