What is accurate regarding the service pipes supplying drinking water to residential property?

Galvanized pipes can over time lead to lowered water pressure.
Copper piping is less expensive than plastic piping.
Lead pipes do not pose a personal health hazard if properly installed.
Plastic piping was popular in residential construction, but copper is now more widely used.

The correct answer is: Galvanized pipes can over time lead to lowered water pressure.

Galvanized pipes can indeed cause lower water pressure over time. This is because galvanized pipes are prone to corrosion, which can lead to mineral build-up and blockages that restrict water flow. As a result, homeowners may notice a decrease in water pressure if their property is supplied with galvanized pipes. Retrofitting with new piping materials such as copper or plastic is often necessary to address this issue and improve water flow in the long run. The other options are not accurate: - Copper piping is generally more expensive than plastic piping due to the material and installation costs involved. - Lead pipes, even if properly installed, can pose serious health hazards as lead can leach into the drinking water supply, causing contamination and adverse health effects. - While plastic piping has been popular in residential construction due to its affordability and ease of installation, copper piping remains a common choice for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
