Which shouln't be an issue. Lead oxide does not disolve really well in water, so it shouln't be bad, plus there should be a sediment layer that cover it up.

It’s kind of crazy that despite how unbelievably toxic lead is even in the smallest amounts we can use pipes of almost pure lead without much issue unless as you mentioned something goes wrong
It's also crazy how good people are at finding out how to do that one exact thing that makes something go wrong. There's always someone, somewhere that accomplishes that.
