The OP needs to get a better measure of flow - one tap being measured is not enough as i found.The sum area of the tap holes tested needs to = the internal diameter of the pipe. you might get 12 lpm out of 1 tap but 10 and 8 out of 2 taps together (total
18 lpm). Find out if the water co will connect FOC under a lead replacement scheme ( iirc its a legal req funded by eec)Regards Jeff
Will try to do the flow thing I think, thanks Jeff.
SS Water will not change the pipe - they do quality testing periodically and they tell it falls within their limits (the lead thing).
Sure it won't cost that much to dig up a bit of the drive and fit some new plastic pipe...
Cheers

IIRC, you have to have a water test done at your expense to see if there's a problem. If not - no grant. And you pay the 100 quid or so for the test. The cost of the test is refundable if the lead content is found to be over the limit.
That *was* the situation some years ago. Dunno about now.
