Sounds more like polybutylene to me. How are the connections made? Plastic would use crimp rings and pinholes are common in PB where the water has high levels of chlorine.
I thought most lead water lines had been replaced. Particularly with the Safe Water Drinking act and all the warnings about lead in the water.
