Default harvesting rainwater from a lead roof


wrote in message
ups.com...
Is it safe to collect rainwater from a roof with a flat leaded area.
This would be for watering plants. Many thanks


Yes.

Lead on a roof would have oxidised very quickly, the resulting coating would
be insoluble in water.

The mains water to our house comes through lead pipes.
