By everything I understand, it is illegal to use lead based solder for consumable water lines.
Contractors using lead based solder can get into big trouble.
Most likely you'll only find lead based solder used in an owner built where ignorance prevailed and/or cost was more important than safety, or an unlicensed, uninsured, fly-by-night, gypo contractor was used.

Good to know.
The SHW install will be contracted out.
But, I shall ask about how it will be handled when the estimate is made.
I will be calling for one very soon.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
