Yup. In most cases, not a big deal. Plumbing, however, is going to be a nightmare.

A lot of cities are in the process of replacing lead pipes with plastic. Replacing them again is going to be a huge burden, especially with an increasingly aging population and fewer people to do manual labor unless we have some sort of good automation for manual labor.

  • The replacement in some cases is to install a plastic liner rather than remove the pipe.
