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 are safe for carrying drinking water?

No. The CDC states that lead pipes and plumbing fixtures can increase lead exposure risk and that no safe blood lead level has been identified for young children. EPA regulations requiring replacement of lead pipes with safer alternatives, and reports of lead contamination above standards, further indicate lead pipes are not safe for drinking water.
