Actually lead pipes were used before for domestic household water supply.

But after finding traces of lead poisoning they are not in use.

So what really happens?

Lead is a toxic substance for humans. The water that comes from underground contains some minerals (compounds) that can react with lead used in pipe and it dissolves in water.
Consumption of lead water leads to damage in brain,kidneys and other vital organs of humans.

So lead pipes are not in use these days.

Hope This Helps You ! :)
