Lots of talk about lead in the water over the past few months. Some people are recommending we run our faucets for 15 minutes in the morning, or after long periods of disuse, to flush any potential lead leeching from the pipes. Great idea, but when I need water for the coffee maker in the morning, I just can't wait that long.
Several neighbors have had their water service pipes replaced by the city (at least, the city's portion, once the work crosses the owner's property line they bear any further costs). There are also options to have larger diameter pipes installed by the city for an extra fee.
Can anyone answer these questions for me:
1) Does your water pressure improve after the work is done?
2) How much do you have to pay to have your share of the work completed?
3) Is it worth it to have just the city's portion of the water pipes replaced?
4) Who tested lead levels in your home?
If anyone has any info, please comment.

Real Estate on Langley 2007
It was another really busy real estate year in Riverdale, and Langley had many sales. I've looked up and posted a few of them, but details are limited. While visiting the open houses I noted that there were some really beautiful kitchen and bath renos. Please post the names of any contractors that did a good job for you.
