i know the reason why, but i'll let you work it out. i'll give you a hint though.. this has only happened within the past 10 years which before that it was pretty much bang on a pH of 7
i have never to date heard of anybody having rotted/pinned copper pipes in Scotland due to the water pH.

Here is a engineering bulletin from Scottish NHS - you only have to go as far as section 1 to see warnings of effect of soft water in Scottish Hospitals on copper piping, they recommend stainless or plastic piping is used where possible. More bad news from the paper is that epidemiological studies have found higher incidence of cardio vascular disease is higher in soft water areas than hard (this is further down in the paper).
