Are you receiving this ? I will answer question, The problem you have is most likely caused by elestrolysis. Electrololysis is the production of chemical changes by the passage of a electric current, usually caused by iron touching the copper somewhere. Also some areas has something in their water that attacks copper' and it starts with pinholes. The best solution is change the copper to a approved plastic, suitable for potable water. Copper in my area was installed in the 1950's and lot of it is still good.
