Replacing lead piping

in Water bills
We have lead piping under the floor boards in our Victorian house. After a leak in these pipes, our plumber has done a temporary fix and said that the water board will replace these lead pipes for free. Is this correct and do we contact Thames Water to sort this?. Many thanks

Have a read of these two links. The second gives you a phone number to call:
Lead | Water quality | Help | Thames Water

The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0 -
That leaflet is wrong. "Lead content in drinking water. The regulatory standard for lead content in drinking water is 10 parts per million, or 10mg/l. " The standard is actually 10 parts per billion, or 10µg/l (micrograms per litre).0
