Wow, do you really? Here in Norway we don't have these at all anymore because of health concerns. It's honestly a bit baffling that rich countries like the United Kingdom still uses these when there are much safer options available.

It's been against regulation for years, it's just never been a mandatory thing that you must replace the pipe I don't think, A lot of landlords in the UK are very reluctant to spend money on their houses.
I have a wonderful landlord but I feel I'd be a pain in the arse asking him to fork out £1000s just to replace a small bit of pipe leading from the mains. I'm worried about the health concerns as much as the next person but It's far cheaper for my landlord if I just filter my tap water.
Ah, that make sense. I also get why your landlord would not spend that amount to get new pipes - at one point they need to be changed anyway, so might as well use a filter until that point I guess. Thanks for sharing your insights, @shmoogleosukami!
