Hey thanks everyone for the input.
Yeah i mean the rust isn't poisonous, i was worrying that the pipes are old and they could have used lead in the soldering which could dissolve in the water.

looked on that website http://savolab.fi/savolab/index.php?id=80, wonder why they don't check for lead?
thought the helsinki water supply is pretty clean, and they are checking for bacteria and stuff, i thought i should be more concerned about the pipes? :o

Maybe there is no lead used in the pipes?

The last thing I would worry in Finland is the quality of tap water. OK, there was this Nokia case, but still...

Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
