How to replace a lead water supply pipe with a MDPE pipe. Before doing this you need to contact the utility company that supplies you with water and get advice from them. United utilities are my supplier and they run a lead pipe replacement scheme where you replace the pipe to the boundary of your property and they connect your supply and replace their side of the water supply pipe (if it is not already plastic). There are more pictures and information about replacing a lead water pipe here-
