Hot tap water, deadly to shrimp?

Oh yeah, copper in the house Ed, but the water spends such I short period of time in those pipes I took it not to matter 🙂

Lead I believe has been banned for years but they haven't yet replaced all the piping under the streets yet. I could be wrong.

I was sure they had replaced it all, but equally I could be wrong too mate!

Note that the communication pipe is technically the water companies responsibility 😉

Well that's a bit worrying! I might have to get in touch with Severn Trent to see about LEad pipes in my water supply!!!
