Is asbestos harmful if used in water pipes?
Concrete pipes used to carry water were sometimes made with asbestos, which was used to stregnthen the pipe. Over years and years of water running through the pipes, some erosion will occur and asbestos fibers will get into the water being distributed - although in very low concentrations. If the use of water contaminated with small concentrations of asbestos is harmful, then asbestos use in water pipes is harmful. The problem is that there is no agreement in the scientific community as to whether asbestos in water at the concentrations observed is, in fact, harmful.

How is a town's water supply stored?

At what temperature do pipes crack?
Water pipes should not of themselves crack at any temperature, however if pipes have water in them the water will freeze at temperatures below 0oC. If this happens then as the water freezes it will expand (ice is less dense than water) and as it expands it will either stretch metal pipes until they burst or crack ceramic pipes. For this reason external water pipes are buried at a depth to which the frost will not penetrate and internal water pipes are lagged to keep them warm.

A plumber has put 18 gallons of antifreeze into my water pipes can the antifreeze interact with copper or lead pipes or pipes with lead soddering and cause contamination to the water?
I can't think you are talking drinking water pipes because anitfreeze is poisonous. Nor should you have lead pipes or lead solder in drinking water pipes. So either sleeve pipes or heating pipes then. Antifreeze has inhibitors designed to prevent corrosion.
Do you have any recommendations on water supply pipes?
