Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lead water pipes leach lead into drinking water, which harms human health?

Yes. Two official public-health sources (EPA and CDC) state that lead can leach into drinking water from lead plumbing and that lead is harmful to human health even at low exposure levels. Several peer-reviewed and agency items further document lead leaching from pipes into water, though they address health harm only generally.
